Local floor screed supply and delivery across Guildford GU1, GU2, GU3, Merrow and Shalford
Most floor screed enquiries in Guildford come from one of three places: a new extension needing a level floor, a period property in the old town having its ground floor rebuilt, or an underfloor heating installation that needs the right screed over the pipework. The third is where the decisions matter most, and where mistakes cost the most to undo.

Screed for underfloor heating in Guildford
Underfloor heating changes the screed specification. The screed has to encase the pipework fully with no voids, conduct heat efficiently rather than insulate against it, and be laid at a depth that balances heat transfer against thermal mass.
Too thick and the system is slow to respond and expensive to run. Too thin and you risk cracking over the pipes. Get the commissioning wrong, by heating it too early, and you can crack a floor that was laid perfectly.
Tell us the pipe centres, the insulation build up and the intended floor covering when you order, and we will specify the depth with you.
Delivery to Guildford sites
Guildford sits where the River Wey cuts through the North Downs, so gradients are severe. Driveways come off the road at angles a loaded mixer should not attempt, and the conservation area around the Castle and the cobbled High Street has streets where heavy vehicles are not going.
Screed is usually pumped into position rather than barrowed, which suits these sites well. We keep the vehicle where it can safely stand and the screed travels the rest of the way. See concrete pump hire in Guildford.
Screed types and depths
For Guildford extensions over insulation, a floating screed at 65 to 75mm is the usual answer. For a thin section over a sound existing slab in the old town, a bonded screed at 25 to 40mm.
| 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 |
Walking on a screed and laying a floor over it are different milestones. Sand and cement screed is typically walkable in 24 to 48 hours, but drying enough to take a floor covering takes far longer: a rough rule is one day per millimetre for the first 50mm, longer beyond that and longer again in cold or humid conditions.
Laying an impermeable covering over a screed that has not dried is the most common and most expensive screed failure we see. If your programme is tight, tell us at the order stage rather than after it is down.

What floor screed costs in Guildford
Area, depth, screed type, access and whether it needs pumping. Guildford's steeper and more restricted sites take longer to set up than a flat suburban plot, so access drives price here more than in most areas.

Floor screed in Guildford: your questions answered
What depth of screed do I need over underfloor heating?+
Usually 65 to 75mm for a floating screed over insulation, but it depends on pipe centres and build up. Tell us both.
How long before I can lay flooring on new screed?+
Walkable in 24 to 48 hours. Ready for a floor covering takes much longer, roughly a day per millimetre for the first 50mm. Do not rush it.
Can you screed a property in the Guildford conservation area?+
Yes. Pumping keeps heavy plant off historic surfaces, which is usually preferred.
My driveway is too steep for a lorry. Can you still deliver screed?+
Yes. We keep the vehicle on the level and pump the screed in.
When can I turn the underfloor heating on?+
Not immediately, and commissioning should be gradual. Heating a screed too early can crack it. Follow your UFH manufacturer's commissioning schedule.
