The area around Heathrow is about 9 miles from our Slough base. Hotels, offices, logistics and warehouse buildings line the Bath Road and the surrounding estates, apartment schemes keep appearing in Hayes, West Drayton and Hounslow, and the villages around the airport have plenty of homes being extended and renovated. Liquid screed suits much of this work perfectly.
Hotels and apartments: floor after floor
Hotel and apartment schemes around Heathrow repeat the same floor build-up dozens or hundreds of times, and consistency is everything. Each floor usually needs an acoustic layer, full edge isolation so sound cannot bridge into the structure, and a liquid screed poured to exactly the same depth and level as every other floor. We set out levels carefully on each floor, check depths as we pour, and keep a record of the areas completed. Pouring floor by floor in a steady sequence keeps the follow-on trades moving and gives the client a consistent result in every room.
Why liquid screed suits the Heathrow area
Much of the construction around Heathrow is large scale, programme driven and repetitive: floors of apartments, hotel rooms, office floors and commercial units. Liquid screed is ideal:
- Speed. Large areas are pumped and levelled in a single day, and floors are usually walkable within 24 to 48 hours.
- Accuracy. Self-levelling gives SR1 or SR2 surface regularity, reducing the need for levelling compounds.
- Consistency. Plant mixed to a controlled recipe, so every floor performs the same.
- Fewer joints. Calcium sulphate screeds can be laid in far larger bays than sand and cement.
- Heating performance. It encapsulates underfloor heating pipes completely for even, efficient heat.
Developments and commercial buildings
We pour liquid screed for developers and main contractors on apartment schemes, hotels, offices and commercial units, including those in the area around the airport. We plan pump positions, hose routes and phasing with the site team, pour to the specified depth and tolerance, and advise on drying and testing before floor finishes. We supply risk assessments and method statements before we start on site. Heavily trafficked areas may need a high strength screed, and our commercial screeding page explains how we work on larger projects.
Homes around Heathrow
The villages and suburbs around the airport, from Colnbrook and Poyle on the Slough side to Harmondsworth, Sipson, Harlington and Cranford, have plenty of homes being extended and modernised. For heated extensions, liquid screed flows fully around the pipes for a responsive, even floor. Read more about screed over underfloor heating.
Preparation before the pour
Liquid screed is highly fluid, so any gap in the preparation can cause leaks or loss of depth. Before every pour we check insulation boards, membranes, edge strips and underfloor heating so the area is fully sealed. We can supply and install the full build-up through our insulation and membranes service.
Surface accuracy and floor finishes
A flat, accurate floor makes every floor finish easier to install and reduces problems such as rocking boards, tile lippage and unevenness under thin coverings. Where an even smoother surface is needed for vinyl or LVT, a thin floor levelling compound can follow. Calcium sulphate screeds need their surface laitance removed and a compatible primer before tiling, and we explain what your flooring installer needs.
Renovation and refurbishment
Older buildings around Heathrow often have uneven or damaged floors that need correcting. Where existing surfaces are sound, they can be sealed and stabilised before a new liquid screed is poured to give a fresh, level base for modern flooring.
