A post-war Tadley and what its floors need now
The age of Tadley's housing tells the story: 46% of homes were built between 1945 and 1972, and a further 38% between 1973 and 1999. Very little is older, and not much is newer, so most floors in the town date from the second half of the twentieth century.
That creates three common kinds of floor job. The first is the back extension: one storey, added to a semi or detached home put up between the 1950s and the 1980s. A new open room with a slab to match the old house suits pumped liquid screed for Tadley extensions, which settles flat and can be walked on within 24 to 48 hours.
The second is the original screed that has simply worn out. Floors laid when these houses were new can crack, dust or lift, and replacing them usually means breaking out and relaying in traditional sand and cement, which suits individual rooms, hallways and wet areas.
The third comes once a ground floor is opened up. With the old floor out, it is the natural moment to add insulation and wet underfloor heating, and our Tadley underfloor heating screed page explains the depths and warm-up.
Garage conversions sit alongside all three. Here the floor normally sits low and has to be built up with insulation and fresh screed to the house level, all set out in our guide to garage conversion floors.

Road access and booking a pour in Tadley
Tadley has no railway station and depends on the road network, including the A340 that runs through it. Everything for a screed arrives by road: the mixer, the pump and, for a sand and cement job, the sand and cement themselves. Tell us about the drive, the width of the entrance and anything that limits parking when you ask for a price, so the right vehicles turn up.
Book the screed once the build has a date for the roof and windows. Before we pour, the roof and windows must be in so the room stays dry, and the plastering must be finished. Underfloor heating pipes are for your own installer to lay and pressure test beforehand, since we do not fit them. Then allow drying time before the flooring fitter comes, and plan the kitchen around the floor rather than the reverse.
We cover the whole town and the areas around it, including Heath End, Pamber Heath, Baughurst Common, Tadley Hill and Tadley Bottom. Postcodes here include RG26.
A floor that is sound, just uneven, may be fine without fresh screed. Self levelling compound for Tadley floors can bring them flat for LVT and tiles, including in shops on Mulfords Hill and Bishopswood Road and offices and workshops at Calleva Park.
