Floor Screed Edgware
Do you need floor screed delivered to your site in Edgware? Base Concrete provides dependable screed supply for residential and commercial projects across Edgware and the wider North London area. Whether you are screeding a single room or an entire building, we deliver the quality mix your project requires.
Floor screed consists of sand, cement and water blended to form a smooth, workable material that goes on top of your concrete slab. Its job is to create the perfectly flat, even surface that floor coverings need. Without screed, laying tiles would result in cracking, timber floors would creak and flex, and carpet would show every bump beneath. Screed is also essential for underfloor heating installations, surrounding the pipes and spreading warmth evenly across the floor.
Base Concrete has been a family-run business since 2002, operating from our depot in Hemel Hempstead. Edgware sits comfortably within our North London delivery radius, and we regularly serve customers in Burnt Oak, Mill Hill, Stanmore, Colindale and Hendon. Our volumetric mixing lorries prepare screed fresh at your address, so you receive a superior product and only pay for the precise quantity you use.

The Advantages of Proper Screeding
Benefits of Quality Floor Screed
Choosing quality floor screed from Base Concrete brings tangible benefits to your building project. Here is what a well-laid screed delivers.
Produces a Flawless Level Surface
Concrete bases are rarely perfectly flat after pouring. Screed fills low spots, covers high points and creates the true, level plane your floor finish demands.
Improves Underfloor Heating Performance
When screed surrounds heating pipes, it absorbs warmth and releases it steadily across the room. This thermal mass effect gives you even temperatures and lower running costs.
Extends the Life of Floor Coverings
A solid screed layer cushions your flooring from the hard concrete beneath. Tiles are less likely to crack, wood is better supported, and all coverings wear more evenly over time.
Accommodates All Finish Options
From polished porcelain in your kitchen to plush carpet in your bedrooms, screed provides the stable foundation that every flooring type needs to perform at its best.

The Perfect Partner for Modern Heating Systems
Floor Screed for Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating continues to grow in popularity among Edgware homeowners, and floor screed is central to making these systems work properly.
The screed layer completely encases your heating pipework, holding everything firmly in place. As warm water passes through the pipes, the surrounding screed soaks up that heat and releases it gently across the entire floor surface. This creates comfortable, consistent warmth without the temperature swings that radiators can produce.
We supply screed mixes tailored to underfloor heating requirements. These formulations flow smoothly around pipes to eliminate air pockets, and they transfer heat efficiently to maximise your system’s output. When you contact us, let us know about your heating installation and we will recommend the ideal mix and application depth.

Reliable Supply from Experienced Professionals
Why Choose Base Concrete for Floor Screed in Edgware?
Your choice of screed supplier has a direct impact on your flooring results. Here is why customers across Edgware rely on Base Concrete.
Family Values, Professional Standards
As a family business trading since 2002, we combine personal service with professional expertise. Every customer matters to us, regardless of project size.
Mixed On Site for Better Results
Rather than arriving pre-mixed from a distant batching plant, your screed is prepared right outside your property. This produces a fresher, more workable material that lays smoothly and finishes well.
Pay Precisely for What You Use
Our mixing system records exactly how much screed is dispensed. You are billed for that amount only, with no surplus to dispose of and no padding out of minimum orders.
Experienced, Respectful Crews
Our drivers understand the demands of working in busy residential streets. They take care around parked cars, neighbouring properties and pedestrians, and they leave your site tidy when finished.
What makes screed different from concrete?
The main difference is the size of the aggregate. Concrete uses gravel and stones up to 20mm across, making it strong but rough. Screed uses fine sand only, producing a smooth texture suitable for floor finishes. Concrete provides structural strength while screed provides a finishing layer.
How thick does my screed need to be?
Thickness varies with the installation method. Bonded screed fixed directly to concrete can be 25mm to 40mm. Unbonded screed laid over a membrane typically needs at least 50mm. Floating screed over insulation or heating pipes usually requires 65mm to 75mm. Our team can advise on the right depth for your specific situation.
How soon can I walk on freshly laid screed?
Light foot traffic is generally possible after 24 to 48 hours. However, you should avoid dragging heavy items across the surface or allowing normal use for at least seven days. Premature heavy traffic can damage the surface before it has properly hardened.
How long until I can lay my floor covering?
Complete drying takes much longer than initial setting. Traditional screed dries at roughly one day per millimetre up to 40mm thickness, then approximately two days per millimetre thereafter. A typical 50mm screed needs around eight weeks before impermeable coverings like tiles or vinyl can be installed. We offer rapid-drying alternatives for projects on tighter schedules.
Can screed be pumped into hard-to-reach areas?
Yes, we operate concrete pumps that can move screed through pipes to areas that lorries cannot access directly. This is particularly useful for rear extensions, basement conversions and upper floor applications in Edgware’s terraced and semi-detached properties.
