Renovation screeds around Landseer Road and Sutton Garden Suburb
Period houses rarely have a floor that behaves the same from room to room. A hallway, a small back kitchen and a converted scullery may each need a different depth, and doorways, thresholds and old walls leave little room for a pump hose and a wide pour. Hand-laid screed is mixed to suit each area and compacted and finished by hand, which is why it fits renovation work in period houses like those around Landseer Road and in Sutton Garden Suburb. Each room can be finished and left to dry while the next is prepared.
A failed old solid floor comes out completely and is rebuilt in layers: membrane, insulation, then fresh screed. On insulation as a floating layer it should be 65mm thick for a home and 75mm for commercial premises. If the concrete below is still good, a bonded screed between 25 and 40mm can be put directly on it after preparation. Our screed thickness guide explains when each applies, and the insulation and membranes service covers what goes below.
Hand-laid screed is slow to dry next to liquid; every millimetre takes around a day until the 40mm mark, and the rate drops after that. In a renovation that is often no hardship, because joinery, plastering and decoration carry on while the floor dries. Plan the flooring for after a moisture test rather than a fixed date.
Garages, wet rooms and small floors in Sutton
A few rooms call for cement whether the house is Edwardian or brand new. Wet rooms and level-access showers need the screed graded down towards the drain, and calcium sulphate is off the table anywhere water will reach the floor. Sand and cement works there and takes tiles directly once dry.
Terraced houses make up 24% of Sutton's homes, and small jobs in them, such as a utility room, a downstairs toilet or a garage turned into a study, are exactly where hand-laid screed is cost effective. There is no pump to set up, so a floor of a few square metres is still sensible to screed. Our garage floor screed guide covers raising and insulating a garage floor to meet the house.
We can tweak the mix too. Adding fibres improves crack resistance at £1 to £3 extra per m², explained under fibre reinforced screeds. And if the floor has to carry weight early on, cement is the base to use. For similar work just over the border, see sand and cement screed in Croydon.
