Three floor jobs that suit Royal Wootton Bassett homes
The 1973 to 1999 period accounts for 39% of the town's homes, far more than any other age band. A house from those years is old enough for serious alteration, yet its original floor is usually still sound, so the work is mostly about adding new floor rather than ripping out the old.
Rear extensions top the list. When the new room opens off the kitchen, its floor has to land at exactly the existing level and stay flat across a wide span, which a pumped liquid floor manages in one visit. Heating going into the extension? The heated floor screed page explains how deep the screed sits above the pipes and when the system can be switched on.
Garage conversions follow. Most garage slabs sit lower than the house, so the floor gets lifted with insulation, a membrane and fresh screed on top. For a single garage, sand and cement laid by hand is often the sensible pick.
New kitchens make up the third. Pull out the old units and flooring and the base underneath is exposed, and big tiles or LVT will want it flat. A levelling screed or compound is often all that is needed; levelling before a new kitchen floor sets out where that works and where it falls short.
If a self-build or new-build specification calls for a particular calcium sulphate grade, our page on anhydrite goes through the material properly.

Timing and access for a Royal Wootton Bassett pour
Programmes usually go wrong on timing. We pour once the extension is sealed against the weather: the roof is on, the glazing and doors are in, wet plaster is finished, and any heating pipes laid and pressure tested. Then the floor needs drying time before any flooring, and how long that takes depends on its depth and the type of screed. Booking the kitchen fitter first and trying to slot the screed in afterwards is how dates slip.
Then there is getting to the room. For a pumped floor, the mixer and pump have to be near enough for the hose to reach. On a driveway, no problem. If parking outside is restricted or tight, or the side access is narrow, tell us when you ask for a quote so the day can be planned around it.
The town is close to junction 16 of the M4 and about six miles west of Swindon, so a pump and mixer coming off the motorway can get to most streets quickly. If a floor is damaged and needs attention before any new screed, look at repairing an existing screed.
