From Regency townhouses to Warwick Gates extensions
The homes of Royal Leamington Spa cover more than two centuries of building, and each age brings its own kind of floor.
North of the River Leam, Regency architecture along the Parade, Clarendon Square and Lansdowne Circus defines the Georgian New Town. Converting a Regency or Victorian townhouse into flats, or reworking flats already inside one, usually means dealing with timber floors and the sound separation between units. Acoustic and lightweight screed systems are worth planning at design stage, before the floor build-up is fixed.
On the ground floor of a house built before 1919, which describes 27% of the town's homes, the old floor may have no damp proof membrane at all. Rebuilding it means digging out and starting again, and a hand-laid sand and cement screed for older houses is the usual way to finish the job in small rooms.
The post-war semis bring a different job, typically a rear extension. Knocking through to the garden leaves one broad floor, and broad floors are where pumped liquid screed in Leamington earns its place. Around Warwick Gates and neighbouring Heathcote the work is more likely to be liquid screed over heating for an extension or garden room, which our page on heated floor screeds covers in detail. If an architect's drawings for a Leamington flat or new home name a calcium sulphate grade, our anhydrite flow screed page decodes it.
And in a Victorian hallway that is solid but wavy, ripping it out may be overkill, since levelling the old floor with compound can do the job.

Timing and access on Royal Leamington Spa streets
A screed is booked into the middle of a build. By pour day we need rain kept out, the plasterers gone and any heating circuit already proven under pressure. Afterwards the floor needs time to dry, so the flooring fitter comes last.
Access is the next thing to plan. In a townhouse conversion near the Parade, the pump may have to stand on the street with the hose run through a hall and up a stair, and there may be parking controls to arrange. On a semi with a drive the setup is far simpler. Send a photo of the frontage and a note on parking with your enquiry so the plan is ready before the day.
The south of the town holds Althorpe Street Industrial Estate, Queensway Trading Estate, Shires Gate Trading Estate and Sydenham Industrial Estate, along with Leamington Shopping Park, which opened in 1989. Units there may need repair, grinding or a new screed when tenants change, and our commercial screeding service handles those. Tell us the unit's use and the floor finish planned, so the price covers preparation as well as the screed.
