Which screed suits which Tewkesbury home
Census 2021 counted 14,387 people in the Tewkesbury built-up area, and their homes cover a long span. The medieval and Tudor timber-framed buildings along the High Street sit beside the abbey, while the town has spread outward through Mitton, Newtown, Wheatpieces, Northway and Walton Cardiff.
Older properties near the rivers need the most careful flood detailing. If an old solid floor near the water has given up, it normally comes out altogether and goes back on a fresh membrane and insulation, topped with cement screed laid by hand, since cement puts up with damp and calcium sulphate does not.
Semis account for 35% of homes in Tewkesbury. The town also has a large stock of 1970s to 1990s houses, which suit extension screeds and underfloor heating retrofits. On a big open-plan extension off one of those houses, pumped liquid screed makes sense, and where pipes will run under the new room, heated floor screed in Tewkesbury sets out how much cover they need and how to bring the warmth up.
The Tewkesbury Garden Town plans aim for more than 10,000 homes around Tewkesbury and Ashchurch, including an application for 2,800 at North Ashchurch. Where a plot specification names a calcium sulphate grade, it is explained on the anhydrite flow screed page.
Some floors here are solid, just not flat, and for those levelling compound ahead of LVT or tiles is faster and cheaper than a fresh screed.

Planning a pour around a Tewkesbury build
Your pour has to slot in between other trades. Before we turn up, the house wants to be watertight, the wet plaster done and any heating circuit tested under pressure. With the screed laid, it must dry out before boards, tiles or LVT can follow, so fix your flooring fitter's date from ours rather than the reverse.
In Tewkesbury, also settle the finished floor level with your designer or building control before the screed is priced. On a flood-aware build the level, the damp proof membrane and the edge detail are decided first, and the screed depth follows from them.
On pumped jobs our lorry and pump wait at the kerb, close enough that the hose reaches your front door. Tell us about parking, shared access or a long garden path when you send the details, whether the house is in Prior's Park, The Mythe, Twyning Green or elsewhere in the town. Knowing that early lets us work out the hose route well ahead of pouring.
Business premises are priced and planned differently. The industrial estates at Northway and Ashchurch, with MoD Ashchurch alongside, are the town's main employment land, and the Garden Town plans add more than 100 hectares east of Tewkesbury. Warehouse and workshop floors there fall under commercial screeding.
