Choosing a screed across Sutton's different districts
Census 2021 counted 82,348 households in the borough, and the right screed depends far more on the age of the building than on the address. Postcodes here include SM1, SM2, SM3, SM5, SM6, CR0 and CR4.
In the inter-war housing, including the southern half of the London County Council's St Helier estate, built between 1928 and 1936, extensions are the core job. A new insulated floor at the back of the house has to meet the existing suspended timber floor at exactly the same height. A wide kitchen-diner on the back of a semi is often most neatly done in pumped liquid screed. Planning to heat it? Read up on pipe cover and warm-up on our Sutton heated floor page.
Sutton town has older quarters too. Landseer Road, with its Edwardian villas, and Sutton Garden Suburb, with its Arts and Crafts houses, are both conservation areas, and their careful renovation screeds suit a traditional sand and cement screed.
The newer blocks of flats around the town centre are heated through the floor, with liquid screed poured around the pipework. Where a block's specification calls up a calcium sulphate grade, the Sutton anhydrite page explains the sanding and testing that come after.
Not every floor needs replacing. If the slab is solid but wavy, a levelling compound skim can often get it flat enough for LVT or tiles, faster and for less money than a full rescreed.

Access, timing and industrial floors around Beddington Lane
Where a house has a driveway, the screed pump can often stand on it, a short hose run from the back of the house. Where it does not, we need to know about parking, shared passages and the route from the road to the room. Let us know about those up front and the plan for the day will take them into account.
Timing a pour is about the trades either side. By pour day the extension needs its roof, its windows and doors, finished wet plaster and heating pipework that has passed a pressure test. Once the screed is down, its depth and type set how long it takes to dry, which is why the screed date should be fixed ahead of the kitchen fitter and the flooring.
Business premises in Sutton are another matter. The Beddington industrial area along Beddington Lane is one of the borough's three Strategic Industrial Locations, with Kimpton and Imperial Way, and suits heavy duty warehouse floors. Sutton town centre, with the St Nicholas centre and Times Square, is the other key commercial area, and the London Cancer Hub around the Royal Marsden and the Institute of Cancer Research is planned as a major research campus. Whether it is a small shop or a warehouse, screeding for commercial units takes in fresh wearing screeds, repairs and floor preparation.
