From Holbrook to the Causeway: matching Horsham floors
Census 2021 recorded 50,211 people in the Horsham built-up area, and the town's floors fall into three broad groups.
First come Holbrook and the estates like it, where late 20th century houses lend themselves to extensions and new kitchen floors. A new open-plan room on one of these houses often has underfloor heating, and liquid screed over the pipes is the usual answer. Our pages on pumped liquid screed in Horsham and screeding over underfloor heating go into depth, cover and drying.
The Needles estate went up around 1955. Post-war homes like these may need their concrete floors repaired or levelled before new flooring goes down, and a sound but uneven floor can often be put right with floor levelling compound rather than a full new screed.
The Causeway is the oldest quarter, lined with houses from the 17th to the early 19th century. Buildings of that age call for careful, low build-up solutions that respect the historic fabric. A thin bonded screed or a hand-laid traditional sand and cement floor is easier to tailor to a historic room than a thick floating build-up, and we would always look at what the floor sits on first.
Roffey and Littlehaven are much older settlements that are now part of the town, and we cover them along with New Town, Oakhill, Southwater Street and The Common. Postcodes here include RH12 and RH13.

Planning a Horsham pour around the build
A house with a drive is the easiest place to park a mixer and pump. Terraces and flats take more thought, because the hose has to reach the room from wherever the lorry can stop. Tell us about access, parking restrictions and the floor level when you ask for a price.
On a Horsham extension, our day falls roughly halfway through the job. By then the roof and windows need to be on, the plasterer finished with the wet work and any heating pipes tested under pressure. Drying follows, and it is the stage most often squeezed, so set the flooring date after the screed date rather than before it.
Commercial work runs on its own programme. Broadbridge Heath has industrial parks, RSA Insurance Group has its registered office at St Mark's Court, and Swan Walk and The Forum are the central shopping areas. Shop, office and unit floors are usually reworked between tenants, when there is a short window for repairs, levelling or a new wearing screed. Our commercial screeding service is set up for that kind of programme.
