Choosing a screed across Hillingdon's suburbs
Start with the house. In Hillingdon, 35% of homes are semi-detached, and Census 2021 counted 109,225 households across the borough. A large part of that suburban stock went up between the wars. Ruislip Manor is a clear example: George Ball built about 2,300 homes there between 1933 and 1939 for working people who wanted to buy.
In semis like those in Ruislip, Ickenham, Eastcote and Hillingdon itself, three jobs are typical. Build out at the back and the new floor has to run level into the existing rooms. An open-plan kitchen needs a heated, insulated floor. An original concrete floor has cracked and needs putting right. For wide extension floors, pumped liquid screed in Hillingdon settles flat in a day. For heated rooms, the depth over the pipes is explained on the underfloor heating screed page. And a cracked slab that is still sound can often be fixed with floor levelling compound.
Northwood is different. Bigger detached houses there tend to have the entire ground floor taken back and relaid, insulation and screed together. Where that plan includes a wet room, a site-mixed sand and cement floor is worth a look.
At the other end of the scale, new flats at The Old Vinyl Factory and around Hayes use liquid screed with acoustic layers. Drawings for a Hayes block sometimes list a calcium sulphate grade, and the Hillingdon anhydrite page decodes it.

Access, parking and pour dates around Uxbridge
At almost 45 square miles, Hillingdon is the second largest London borough by area, and one of the least densely populated, with Heathrow Airport and RAF Northolt inside its boundary. Parking still varies from street to street, so tell us about controlled parking zones, narrow side access or a shared drive when you ask for a price. A pump and mixer need a spot within hose reach of the door.
On an Ickenham or Eastcote extension, the screed comes after the shell and before the finishes. We want glazing and outside doors fitted, the plasterer's wet work behind you, and heating pipes down and through their pressure test. Tiles and wood wait while the new floor dries, so put the fitters in the diary with that gap built in.
Offices and business units are their own category. Stockley Park is a 274 acre business estate between Hayes and West Drayton with more than twenty companies, and there is also Uxbridge Business Park. Floors there need to be level for raised access flooring or hard wearing finishes. Postcodes here include UB7, UB8, UB10, HA4, HA5 and HA6.
