If you’re based in Ingatestone, you’ll know the village has its own charm — quiet leafy streets around Fryerning, the busy stretch near Ingatestone High Street, and a real mix of property types ranging from historic cottages to modern homes tucked away off Roman Road. And whether you’re renovating a period property, levelling a kitchen extension in Mill Green, or preparing a commercial unit near the station, the hidden hero of the entire project is the floor screeding beneath your flooring.
At PCS City Group, we provide high-quality, durable and professionally installed floor screeding services across Ingatestone and the wider South East. With years of experience and a team who genuinely care about the finish, we help homeowners, landlords, developers and businesses achieve smooth, strong, perfectly level floors built to last.

A professionally installed screed provides a perfectly level, smooth surface, longer-lasting final flooring, better heat distribution with underfloor heating, reduced cracking, dips or movement, and a strong, stable base ready for tiles, wood, LVT or carpet. Your flooring is only as good as the screed beneath it — so it pays to get it right.
Our screeding is ideal for extensions, new builds, kitchen renovations, bathrooms, garage conversions, commercial units, shops and offices, industrial floors, homes with underfloor heating and full property refurbishments. If it needs to be level, strong and durable — we handle it.
