Which screed fits which kind of Worthing home
Census 2021 counted 111,635 people in the Worthing built-up area, and the town's homes fall into a few clear groups, each with its own floor problems.
Converted flats in period buildings are the first. Here the job is rarely a full new floor. Old boards usually need an acoustic build-up or a thin levelling layer so that new vinyl, LVT or tiles lie flat, and our floor levelling service covers that.
Broadwater, Goring and the post-war estates west of the town, built from 1948 using prisoner of war labour, have plenty of semis and bungalows. Owners there are adding extensions and opening up kitchens, and a wide new floor of that kind suits pumped liquid screed, laid in a day and flat enough for most finishes.
Up the hill, the detached homes of Findon Valley and High Salvington lend themselves to heating retrofits. The old floor is dug out, insulated and rescreeded, and the details are on our page about screed over underfloor heating in Worthing.
Older houses with a damp, broken solid floor, shower rooms that must drain, and garages becoming bedrooms all point the same way: traditional screed mixed and laid by hand. It copes with falls, awkward shapes and floors that may get wet, and it can be laid in small batches carried through a narrow hallway.
If you are unsure which group your house sits in, describe the floor, its age and what is going on top, and we will say which route makes sense.

Start with where the lorry can stop. A pumped screed needs the mixer close enough for the hose to reach the door, which is simple on a driveway and harder on a street of parked cars or outside a block of flats. Say where a lorry could stand, whether there are bay restrictions, and which floor the work is on, so the plan is settled before the day.
Timing is the second. The screed belongs after the roof, windows and wet plastering, and after any heating pipes have been pressure tested. Book it with enough room before the flooring fitter, because drying cannot be hurried on most screeds.
Industrial work in Worthing runs on its own lines. Decoy Farm on Dominion Way, a 17.5 acre former landfill site, gained planning approval in December 2024 for an industrial estate expected to support more than 350 jobs. New sheds of that kind need large pumped or high strength floors, which our commercial screeding work is set up for.
