Choosing a screed for Walton-on-Thames homes
Census 2021 recorded 11,257 households in the Walton-on-Thames built-up area, and a third of homes, 33%, are flats. The rest are mostly semis and detached houses on suburban streets, many from between the wars and the years after 1945. After the war the Weybridge and Walton council built more than 1,000 houses across the two towns, and those council houses are part of the same pattern.
On houses of that age, the typical projects are extension floors and garage conversions. A wide extension floor with heating suits pumped liquid screed in Walton. A garage being turned into a room, with a step to make up and perhaps a shower, often suits a hand-laid sand and cement floor screed. Where pipes are going in, the depth and heat-up rules on our Walton underfloor heating screed page apply whichever screed you choose.
Flats raise different questions. When a flat at The Heart or another block is refitted, the floor work is usually an acoustic screed, levelling or a repair. A floor that is sound but uneven needs self levelling compound before flooring rather than a new screed. On new apartment schemes and plots, a specified calcium sulphate flow screed is often the material named on the drawings.
If you are unsure which applies, send photos or drawings and we will say which screed fits.

Access from Ashley Park to Hersham estates
We cover the whole of Walton-on-Thames, including Ash Estates, Ashley Park, Ambleside, Burwood Park, Lower Green, Rydens, West End and Hersham. Postcodes here include KT12, KT10 and TW17.
On a house, the questions are where the lorry parks and how far the hose has to run. A pumped screed needs the mixer close to the property, so we check the frontage and any parking restrictions first, and protect the hall and doorways the hose passes through. In the town centre, a flat above or near the shopping mall at The Heart of Walton usually means agreeing access times with the building's management.
Hersham Place Business Park, Hersham Trading Estate, Riverdene Industrial Estate and Hersham Green Technology Park are a different kind of site. Units there tend to need concrete floor repair, grinding and hard wearing screeds rather than domestic products, and our commercial screeding service covers that work.
On any build, the screed date sits after the shell is weathertight and the insulation, membrane and pipes are in. Book it early, because the floor then needs drying time before flooring and kitchen fitting.
