Which screed fits which Redditch home
Census 2021 recorded 81,634 people in the Redditch built-up area, and 47% of its homes date from 1973 to 1999, a period that takes in the new town houses now 40 to 50 years old.
In Matchborough, Winyates and Church Hill the new town houses are reaching 40 to 50 years old. Concrete ground floors in homes of that age can be out of level or cracked, and terraces in these districts often gain a kitchen or garden room extension at the back. Where that new room at the back is one big open space, pumped liquid screed for Redditch extensions is the natural fit. If the plan puts heating pipes in the floor, our Redditch underfloor heating screed notes explain how much cover goes over them and how the heat is brought up afterwards.
Headless Cross and Webheath have older houses, where a renovation can mean lifting a tired solid floor and putting back a membrane, insulation and a new screed. For that kind of rebuild we would normally reach for sand and cement, mixed and laid by hand, since it works in a cramped room, round an awkward threshold or in a space that gets wet.
Not every tired floor needs replacing, though. Where the concrete is solid and merely out of true, you may be able to skip a new screed altogether. Levelling the existing floor with compound can bring it flat for LVT or tiles in far less time.
We cover the whole town, including Abbeydale, Batchley, Crabbs Cross, Greenlands, Ipsley, Lodge Park, Oakenshaw, Smallwood, Southcrest and Walkwood. Postcodes here include B97 and B98.

Pump access, programme and Redditch industrial estates
Pinning down a pour date means lining it up with your builder, plasterer and heating engineer. We need the windows and doors in, the wet plaster done and any underfloor pipes down and pressure tested before we arrive. The new floor then has to dry out before your tiler, or whoever is fitting LVT or timber, can start, so settle our date first and book them around it.
On pour day our mixer and pump need a spot close enough for the hose to reach your door. A driveway makes that simple. Where the nearest parking space is some distance from the house, or the road has restrictions, say so when you ask for a price, so the hose route and parking are planned before the day.
Redditch also has a large stock of commercial floor space, because the new town was built with planned employment areas. Moons Moat, historically the largest with more than 160 factories, includes Ravensbank Business Park. Washford Industrial Estate, Park Farm North and South, Lakeside and Enfield add further warehouse and factory space. Ageing industrial floors on these estates can need repair, grinding or resurfacing, and our commercial screeding service handles that work, from a single unit upwards.
