Wimborne Minster floors, from the Cornmarket to Colehill
Census 2021 counted 16,629 people in the Wimborne Minster built-up area, a market town where the Stour and Allen meet. Its homes span many periods, and 30% were built between 1945 and 1972. Each part of the town tends to point to a different screed.
In the conservation area, older buildings may have stone or early solid floors. These need careful repair, often with lime friendly methods and a membrane only where the conservation rules allow it. Where a section is replaced and the rules allow a modern build-up, a hand-laid sand and cement screed in Wimborne Minster can be mixed to suit small, irregular rooms.
The post-war estates of family homes in Colehill and around Leigh Park are where extensions go in. A wide new kitchen or garden room with an insulated floor is a natural fit for a pumped liquid screed for extensions, which is walkable within 24 to 48 hours.
On those newer plots, the heated floor is what the screed has to serve. Pipe cover and a staged heat-up are covered on our underfloor heating screed page, and if the specification names a CA grade, see anhydrite flow screed for Wimborne Minster.
Not every Wimborne floor needs ripping up. If yours is solid but bumpy, a skim of compound can be enough, keeping the floor height where it is and cutting the wait for flooring.

Around the Cornmarket and High Street, the question is where our mixer can stand with the hose still reaching you. In the historic centre around the Cornmarket and High Street, space outside can be limited, so mention parking controls or rear access when you ask for a price. On an estate driveway the set-up is usually simple.
Then there is the calendar. We pour after the building is sealed from rain, the plaster has dried out and your heating installer has proved the pipes under pressure. A 40mm floor needs something like 40 days before flooring, deeper ones longer. Pin our date down and let the kitchen and flooring fitters slot in behind it.
The town centre has a range of shops and pubs in older buildings. A shop refit or change of use there can need floor levelling or repair before the new finish goes down, and on an old building that often starts with floor preparation to find out what the existing floor is made of.
