Northampton is about 50 miles from our Slough base, further than our home patch. We cover it for builders, developers and homeowners, and we plan each visit so that a pour or a day of screeding is worth the journey: new build plots, larger extensions and commercial floors.
The town has grown enormously since it was expanded as a new town from the late 1960s, and it is still growing, with major housing developments on its edges and large industrial and distribution parks close to the M1.
Screeding for Northampton homes
Northampton's homes of every age need screeding work, typically:
- New build houses on the town's growing estates, often with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
- Extensions to the 1970s and 1980s homes built during the town's expansion, in areas such as Hunsbury, Wootton and Duston.
- Renovations of Victorian terraces in areas like Abington, Far Cotton and St James, where old floors are uneven and often lack damp protection.
- Garage conversions and loft conversions needing insulated, level floors.
- Self builds in the villages around the town.
For new builds and heated extensions, liquid screed is usually the best choice, giving a flat floor and excellent performance over underfloor heating. For smaller rooms, wet areas and renovations, a traditional sand and cement screed, often with added fibres through our fibre reinforced screed, is the practical option.
Commercial and industrial screeding in Northampton
Northampton's position on the M1 has made it a major centre for logistics, distribution and light industry, with large estates such as Brackmills, Moulton Park and Swan Valley. We lay high strength screeds designed for heavy traffic, and carry out floor preparation such as shot blasting and grinding on existing floors. For refurbishments and fit-outs, see our dedicated page for floor preparation in Northampton.
The importance of professional screeding
A screed provides the solid, even base the floor finish depends on. Poor screeding shows up as uneven floors, cracked tiles, lifting vinyl and early wear. Choosing an experienced team means:
- Your floors are level and ready for the final finish.
- The screed is designed for the flooring you have chosen and how the floor will be used.
- Underfloor heating works efficiently and evenly.
- The floor lasts for decades, not years.
How we work in Northampton
We plan Northampton work around your programme. We confirm areas, depths and the build-up in advance, arrive on the agreed date, and aim to complete each floor in a single visit. On new build sites we coordinate with the site team on access, pump positions and phasing, and we supply risk assessments and method statements before we start.
Working with Northampton housebuilders
On new build developments, the screed has to fit neatly into the build sequence for every plot. We agree with the site team which plots will be ready on each visit, check that insulation, membranes and heating are complete and signed off before we pour, and pour plot by plot to a consistent depth and finish. Keeping to that rhythm matters, because the dry lining, joinery and flooring trades are waiting behind us. We also flag anything we find that is not ready, such as missing edge strip or untested pipes, before it becomes a problem in the floor. That attention to detail keeps the whole build on track.
