Old centre, overspill estates and Wintringham: St Neots screeds
Census 2021 recorded 33,262 people in the St Neots built-up area. Broadly, the houses split into three ages, and a floor from one age rarely needs the same fix as a floor from another.
The historic core around the Market Square and St Mary's Church mixes cottages and larger houses, and late Victorian and Edwardian terraces fill the regular streets north and east of the medieval centre. Eynesbury, once a separate village, has small cottages, terraces and early twentieth century council housing. When an old solid floor in one of these houses gives up, the usual route is to break it out and rebuild it with fresh insulation and a damp proof membrane underneath, and that is a job for hand-laid sand and cement in St Neots.
From the 1960s, London overspill housing and light industry arrived. Houses from those decades lend themselves to extensions and knocked-through ground floors, and when a broad new floor has to finish flush with the old slab, a pumped liquid floor is usually the way to do it.
Then came growth east of the railway, first at Love's Farm and now at Wintringham off Cambridge Road, with Monkfields also under construction. Altogether 27% of St Neots homes date from 2000 or later, and Wintringham, led by master developer Urban&Civic, is a large new neighbourhood still being built. New homes like these commonly take flowing screed over underfloor heating, so the heated floor screed page and the page on calcium sulphate grades will be the useful ones for a plot or a self-build here.

Planning a pour across St Neots and Eaton Socon
Whatever the house, the screed has to fit the build programme. Before we pour, the roof and windows need to be keeping the weather out, the plasterers should have finished their wet work, and any heating pipes need a pressure test behind them. After that, drying time decides when flooring can start, so it pays to fix the screed date first and book the fitters around it.
Access differs across the town. For a pumped floor, the mixer lorry and pump must park close enough for the hose to reach your door. That is straightforward where a house has a drive, but in the terraced streets near the centre, parking and narrow frontages need planning, so mention them when you ask for a price. Where the pump cannot get close, a hand-laid screed brought in by barrow can be the simpler answer. That applies anywhere in town, from Eaton Ford to Eynesbury.
For commercial premises, St Neots has the Cromwell Road Industrial Estate, Marston Business Park on Marston Road and warehouse units on Little End Road in Eaton Socon. Worn slabs there are a job for our commercial screeding team, while an uneven office or showroom floor may only need levelling compound.
