We install a full range of screeds including CEM Floor, anhydrite, traditional sand/cement, and rapid-drying options. Our systems support underfloor heating and accommodate commercial applications requiring high-performance finishes. With expertise in bonded, unbonded, and floating installations, we ensure level, durable bases for tiles, resin, and engineered wood flooring.
Tiling
Our nationwide tiling service combines aesthetic appeal with practical durability. We work with architects and contractors to deliver ceramic tiling solutions that withstand heavy footfall and environmental pressures. Projects span retail, hospitality, and residential sectors, ensuring long-term value through low-maintenance, visually striking finishes.

We provide comprehensive plastering services for commercial developments, including exterior and interior plastering, ceiling work, and traditional wet plastering. Our team delivers flawless finishes across education, healthcare, and heritage projects, using proven techniques to ensure structural integrity and visual appeal.
Underfloor Heating
Our custom underfloor heating systems offer energy-efficient, even warmth distribution. We design and install systems tailored to residential and commercial needs, using advanced materials for reliability. Benefits include improved comfort, reduced allergen circulation, and space-saving aesthetics compared to traditional radiators.
CEM Floor Screed
CEM Floor screeds provide a hard-wearing, self-smoothing base ideal for high-traffic commercial environments. We apply this polymer-enhanced cement technology as either a wearing surface or underlayment, ensuring compatibility with epoxy coatings and resilient floor coverings for long-term performance.
