Across Dorchester we lay overlay and replacement screeds for renovations from period cottages to 1960s semis, using thin-section liquid pours where ceiling heights or thresholds are constrained.
Old buildings move differently. We talk through movement joints at thresholds and against existing walls, so the new floor doesn't fight the old structure.
Most of our Dorchester jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Dorchester sits Dorchester, and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Renovation Screed in Dorchester — how it works
Old buildings move differently. We talk through movement joints at thresholds and against existing walls, so the new floor doesn't fight the old structure.
Most Dorchester renovations want UFH retro-fit. Liquid screed lets you wrap pipes in a thin build-up the original construction never planned for.

Why Dorchester clients pick us
What people in Dorchester usually ask
How do you handle threshold heights in older Dorchester properties?+
We design the build-up around your target finished-floor level — including covering thickness — so doors still swing and thresholds still meet. Often that means thinner insulation and a thinner screed.
Will it work with my new UFH retro-fit?+
Yes — Cemfloor Therm at 50mm above pipe gives you full UFH performance in a renovation build-up most original structures can accommodate.
Can you screed over my existing concrete floor in Dorchester?+
Usually yes — if the slab is sound we bond a thin liquid screed straight on top from 30mm. We'll assess the Dorchester substrate at the site visit and price accordingly.
Will the screed stick to my old skirtings?+
We fit edge isolation strip against every wall before the pour — no bonding to skirtings, no risk to plaster.
Is liquid screed safe over a heritage property in Dorchester?+
With proper edge isolation and movement joints, yes. We discuss any conservation-area or listed-building constraints up front.
Can you do a single room rather than the whole house?+
Yes — single-room renovation pours are a regular run for us across Dorchester, with movement joints at the doorway to isolate from neighbouring rooms.
From the first site visit to the final laitance sand, our Dorchester jobs are run as one fixed-price piece of work — no creeping extras.
