Matching the screed to Faversham's older and newer homes
Faversham has two very different kinds of floor to deal with. The first is the historic core. The terraces and timber-framed houses of Abbey Street, and the Georgian and Victorian houses lining The Mall, often have ground floors of failed concrete or brick. These usually have to be lifted, given a membrane and insulation, and then screeded in a way that suits a building of that age. A hand-laid sand and cement screed in Faversham is the usual answer in small, awkward rooms like these, and it copes with wet rooms and falls as well.
Terraces make up 40% of homes in the town, so that kind of renovation is a large part of the picture. The other part is newer housing and the extensions added to it. Homes built in recent decades usually have insulated ground floors designed to take a flowing screed, and that is where pumped liquid screed earns its place, laying a big kitchen or open-plan floor in a single day.
Heating changes the choice again. If wet underfloor heating is going into an extension or garden room, the screed has to cover the pipes to the right depth and be warmed up slowly; our page on underfloor heating screed explains the cover and timings. Some Faversham drawings call for calcium sulphate by its CA grade, and that material is explained in detail under anhydrite flow screed.
Some floors here can be put right without any fresh screed. A sound but uneven base under new LVT or tiles may only need floor levelling with compound, which is quicker and cheaper than starting again.

Access, parking and timing a pour in Faversham
Screed has to reach the room somehow, and in Faversham that depends on the street. Older central streets such as Abbey Street were laid out long before vans and pumps, so the mixer may have to stand on the road while a hose or barrows run through the house. If your street has yellow lines, a tight frontage or a passage shared with next door, mention it with your enquiry so the pour can be arranged around it. Where a house has its own drive, the set-up is usually simpler.
Next comes the build programme. A screed goes down once the walls are up, the roof is on and the windows are in, but well before the flooring. Pencil in drying too: a 40mm floor needs something like 40 days, and every millimetre beyond that adds more than a day.
Commercial premises follow the same logic with extra constraints. Shops in historic premises and the brewery buildings in the town centre need floors that respect older structures while taking modern loads, and the work often has to fit around trading. Our commercial screeding service covers those jobs, from preparing the base to the finished floor.
