Local floor screed supply and delivery across Brighton BN1 and Hove
Brighton has more flat conversions per street than anywhere else we work. Large Victorian and Regency houses subdivided into flats, basement and lower ground floor units brought into use, and a constant flow of refurbishment. Screed sits at the centre of most of that work. It also creates a requirement that barely comes up elsewhere on our patch: separating floors between dwellings have to meet acoustic performance standards, and the screed is part of how that is achieved.

Screed in flat conversions and separating floors
Where a floor separates one dwelling from another, Building Regulations Part E sets sound insulation requirements, and conversions have to demonstrate compliance. The floor build up, including the screed layer and any resilient layer beneath it, is central to meeting them.
This is not something to specify on the day. If your project involves a separating floor between flats, get the build up designed first, then tell us what the design requires and we will supply to it.
Basement flats and lower ground floors
Brighton's Regency and Victorian stock is full of lower ground floor flats, basements, vaults and lightwells. Screed going in below street level, behind railings and down steps is routine here.
Sequencing with damp proofing matters. A screed laid over a tanking or damp proof system that is not ready will trap moisture.
Access is a ground line pump run down steps or through a lightwell, so nothing is carried through a finished flat. See concrete pump hire in Brighton.
Delivery and access in Brighton
Streets through Hanover and Seven Dials climb steeply, terraces are narrow, permit parking runs both sides. A bay suspension from Brighton and Hove City Council is almost always needed on a residential street and requires a few days notice. It is the most common cause of a wasted day here.
Screed types and depths
In conversion work a floating screed over a resilient layer is common, and the depth is usually set by the acoustic design rather than by thermal considerations.
| Screed type | Typical depth | Dries enough to walk on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sand and cement (bonded) | Typical depth25 to 40mm | Dries enough to walk on24 to 48 hours | Best forThin sections over a sound base |
| Sand and cement (unbonded) | Typical depth50mm plus | Dries enough to walk on24 to 48 hours | Best forOver a damp proof membrane |
| Sand and cement (floating) | Typical depth65 to 75mm | Dries enough to walk on24 to 48 hours | Best forOver insulation, with or without UFH |
| Fibre reinforced | Typical depth40mm plus | Dries enough to walk on24 to 48 hours | Best forWhere cracking risk is higher |
Roughly a day per millimetre for the first 50mm, longer beyond. Basement and lower ground floor spaces are usually cooler and less ventilated, which extends drying.
In a conversion with trades queued behind you, this is the thing most likely to slip the programme. Plan for it.
