A level floor is the foundation of every great room — and a poorly screeded floor will cause problems with every flooring type laid on top of it. Cheshire Bespoke Build’s in-house screeding team has been laying floor screeds across Cheshire for over 27 years. Whether it’s a sand and cement screed on a new extension, a liquid anhydrite screed over underfloor heating, or a renovation levelling job, we get it flat, we get it right, and we get it done on time.
What’s included
- Sand and cement screed for new build floors, extensions, and conversions.
- Liquid anhydrite screed for fast application and superior flatness.
- Underfloor heating screed — encapsulating heating pipes or cables correctly.
- Floor levelling compounds for renovation projects with uneven substrates.
- Screed removal and replacement in renovation and refurbishment projects.
- DPM application and insulation layer installation prior to screeding.
Why choose us
- Flat floors, measured not guessed
- Our screeding team works to set datum points across the floor to ensure consistent depth and flatness. We don’t rely on eye level — we measure, set, and verify.
Coordinated with the wider project
- Because our screeding team works alongside our groundwork, plumbing, and flooring teams, underfloor heating pipes are installed correctly before screeding and floors are ready on schedule for the finishing trade.
No deposit, clear pricing
- Screeding is priced per square metre with a clear scope agreed before we start. No deposit is required and payment is made on completion of the screed.
FAQs
How long does screed take to dry before flooring can be laid?
Sand and cement screed typically takes 1 day per millimetre of depth to dry — so a 75mm screed needs approximately 75 days. Liquid anhydrite screeds dry faster and can often be ready in 2–4 weeks.
What thickness should my floor screed be?
For a bonded screed, 25–40mm is typical. For an unbonded or floating screed, 50–75mm is standard. We’ll specify the correct depth for your floor construction during your consultation.
Can you screed over underfloor heating?
Yes — this is one of the most common applications for liquid anhydrite screed, which flows around the pipes and bonds perfectly. We’ll ensure the correct depth over the pipes is maintained throughout.
