Matching screed to Hatfield's terraces, flats and newer homes
Hatfield's homes fall into three broad groups, each with its own floor work.
The 1950s and 1960s new town terraces come first. A ground floor refurbishment there often means levelling an uneven concrete slab, or replacing a tired screed before laminate or LVT goes down. Where the slab is sound, floor levelling for Hatfield homes is often enough. Where the screed has failed, it comes up and is relaid, usually in hand-laid sand and cement when it is a single room.
Flats are the second group. They bring acoustic screeds and latex levelling, and a new floor across a whole flat suits a pumped liquid screed or, where the specification calls for it, calcium sulphate flow screed.
The third group is the newer housing on the old aerodrome land. Homes there are more likely to need crack repairs, underfloor heating for an extension, or a smoothing compound over an existing screed than a full replacement. For heated extensions, see underfloor heating screed.
In each case the survey starts with the floor that is already there: what it is made of, whether it is sound, and what height the new surface has to meet. That decides the method far more than the product name does, and it is why we price from a survey rather than from a floor area alone.

Access and timing from Old Hatfield to South Hatfield
We cover the whole of Hatfield, including Old Hatfield, South Hatfield, Birchwood, Ellenbrook, Oxlease, Roe Green, The Ryde, Hatfield Garden Village, Nast Hyde, Mill Green, Marshmoor, Bell Bar and Water End. Postcodes here include AL10 and AL9. Old Hatfield, with Hatfield House and St Etheldreda's Church, is the historic core that the new town planners left apart.
Access shapes the method. A liquid pour brings a mixer lorry and a pump that must park within hose reach for a few hours. On a terrace without a drive, that usually means the kerb outside, with the hose run through the front door. Flats need a route up the stairs or through a window. Sand and cement is delivered as materials and mixed on site, which suits small jobs where a lorry cannot stand.
Timing follows the build. Screed goes in once the room is weathertight and the services under the floor are in, and before the finishes. On a heated extension, the heating engineer lays and tests the pipes first, and then we pour. After that, allow for drying before any flooring.
On the commercial side, Hatfield Business Park, on the former de Havilland aircraft factory site, has warehouses, offices and campus buildings that call for large area and high strength screeds, floor grinding and concrete repair; see commercial screeding.
