High Wycombe sits in the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire, about 8 miles north-west of our Slough base and easily reached via Beaconsfield and the M40. It is a town of real contrasts: a historic centre, hillside streets of Victorian terraces, large post-war estates, newer developments on the edges of town, and busy business and industrial areas such as Cressex and Wycombe Marsh.
We cover homes and business premises across High Wycombe and the surrounding towns and villages.
Screeding for High Wycombe homes
Common residential screeding projects in a town like High Wycombe include:
- Kitchen and rear extensions, often with underfloor heating.
- Split level and hillside homes, where extensions step down the slope and floor levels need careful setting.
- Garage conversions into living space, raised and insulated to match the house.
- Renovations of Victorian and inter-war homes with uneven or failing floors.
- New build houses on infill plots and small developments around Hazlemere, Downley and Booker.
For heated extensions, liquid screed is usually the better choice, because it flows fully around the pipes and gives an even, responsive floor. For smaller spaces and garage conversions, sand and cement screed is often the practical choice, and adding fibres through our fibre reinforced screed helps prevent shrinkage cracking on floating floors.
Building on a slope
Much of High Wycombe is built on the valley sides, and hillside plots bring their own challenges. Extensions often sit at a different level from the house, ground floors can be partly below external ground on one side, and setting out the finished floor level correctly is critical. We confirm the levels with your builder before the insulation goes down, so the screed ends up at the right height with the right depth. Where the floor is partly below ground, the damp proof membrane and its link to the walls need particular care, and we can install the full build-up including insulation and membranes.
Commercial and industrial screeding
High Wycombe has a long history as a manufacturing town, and it still has busy business and industrial areas. We screed offices, showrooms, workshops and light industrial units, where the floor must stand up to heavy traffic and often needs to be ready quickly. See our commercial screeding page for how we work with contractors and business owners.
Garage conversions in High Wycombe
Garage conversions are a common project in towns with older housing like High Wycombe, and they follow a well proven approach. Garage slabs are usually lower than the house floor, have no insulation and often no damp proof membrane, so the new floor has to do three jobs at once. First, a damp proof membrane is laid and linked to the walls. Second, rigid insulation brings the floor up to modern thermal standards. Third, a floating screed is laid over a slip membrane to the level of the house, usually at least 65mm thick for sand and cement. Where the old garage door opening is being bricked up, the detail at the new wall matters too, so that damp cannot bridge into the new floor. We confirm the depths before any materials are ordered, so the finished floor meets the hallway or kitchen without a step. See our guide to garage floor screed for typical depths and costs.
