Which screed fits which Snodland home
Snodland grew on lime quarrying and paper making, and its buildings run from a c1450 Wealden hall house at Mulberry Cottages on the High Street to streets finished in the last few years. Semis make up 39% of homes, so the usual floor belongs to an ordinary family house rather than a period restoration.
On those late 20th century semis and terraces, the common project is a rear extension. The new room is normally a tidy rectangle, which is the shape a pumped liquid screed handles well: it flows flat, fills around heating pipes and can be walked on within 24 to 48 hours. Planning pipes in that new room? Read about screeding over underfloor heating in Snodland for the depth the pipes need on top and when the heating can first run.
Older fabric needs a different approach. In Snodland's older houses, a solid floor that has cracked or let the damp through often has to come out, and rebuilding it in hand-laid sand and cement works well around small rooms, tight doorways and wet areas.
Holborough raises another question. Berkeley Homes began around 1,200 houses on the former Holborough Quarry in 2005, and owners replacing flooring there sometimes lift the old finish to find a screed that is uneven or damaged. That usually calls for levelling compound over the existing screed or a targeted screed repair rather than a whole new floor.

Planning a pour around a Snodland build
We cover the whole of Snodland, including Ham Hill, Holborough, Mill Street, Millhall and New Town, and postcodes here include ME6, ME19 and ME20. Wherever the house is, the screed has to slot into the build programme, and it is the one stage that cannot simply be squeezed.
We need the room closed in before we pour: glazing and outside doors in, and the plasterer's wet work done. If your plumber is fitting heating pipes, they should be in and pressure tested by then. How long the floor then takes to dry turns on its depth and the type of screed, so set the flooring date once the screed date is known, rather than squeezing the screed in ahead of a fitter who is already booked.
A pumped screed also needs space outside. On a Snodland street that means space for the mixer and pump on the road or a driveway, and a clear line for the hose into the house. Tell us when you ask for a price about parking restrictions, a narrow side passage or a terrace with no rear access, so the setup is planned before the day. A hand-laid screed needs less room at the kerb, but the sand and cement still has to be delivered and mixed close to the house.
If a garage is being turned into a room, the floor usually has to be raised and insulated first, so agree that build-up early.
