Turnkey Apartment Renovation
Full apartment renovation, where floor screed is one of the early stages.
Professional floor screed and levelling in Valencia — a flat, solid sub-floor prepared for apartments, houses and commercial units before new flooring goes down.
We pour cement and sand screed or self-levelling compound, fix level differences between rooms, and cast underfloor heating pipes into the screed where it is part of the plan.
Looking for reliable floor screed and levelling in Valencia, Spain? squaremeter Reformas pours cement and sand screed and self-levelling compound for apartments, houses and commercial units across the city. We prepare the sub-floor so your new flooring — parquet, laminate, tiles or vinyl plank — sits flat and lasts, without cracks or level differences between rooms.
We discuss the current state of your floor, the flooring you plan to install, and whether underfloor heating is part of the plan.
We measure floor level at multiple points with a laser level and check the condition of the existing sub-floor.
You receive a quote showing the screed type, the area, and the pour thickness.
We remove old flooring, clean the sub-floor, and lay sound insulation or waterproofing where it is needed.
We set levelling guides, lay underfloor heating pipes if agreed, and pour the screed.
We monitor drying time and moisture levels, then hand over a level sub-floor ready for new flooring.
Floor screed in Valencia is not just a bag of mix poured onto the floor — it is a calculated base built for a specific type of flooring. We account for level differences, the load on the structural slab, and whether underfloor heating or waterproofing is needed, so the result is a flat, solid surface that lasts.
Floor Screed in Valencia Apartments
Floor screed and levelling is especially common in Valencia's older housing stock, where level differences between rooms can reach several centimetres, as well as in new-build apartments before the first flooring is laid, and in properties being prepared for sale or rent. We level the sub-floor so the new floor looks and performs like it would in a brand-new home.
If the problem is limited to a few damaged spots — laminate that has lifted by a balcony door, a cracked tile in a kitchen corner, a dip near a threshold — pouring a new screed across the whole property is not always the right call. In that case, spot floor repair deals with the damage locally, without opening up the full sub-floor. Spot repairs are often paired with new flooring on the repaired section, and afterwards with skirting board and trim replacement so the joint between old and new flooring looks tidy. During the inspection we will tell you honestly whether spot repair is enough, or the area is damaged enough to need a new screed.

Local Insight
Cement and sand screed dries more slowly than it looks. The rule of thumb is about 1mm of thickness per day to reach full strength, so a 5cm screed can take four to six weeks or longer before it is ready for a moisture-sensitive floor covering. In Valencia, the proximity to the sea adds another factor: high air humidity, especially in autumn and the shoulder seasons, slows evaporation from the screed's surface. The top layer can look and feel dry within a few days, while the screed underneath is still holding water. If parquet, laminate or vinyl flooring is laid at that point, the trapped moisture lifts the adhesive, causes boards to swell, and in some cases leads to mould underneath the covering that then has to be opened up and redone. Before we hand a screed over for flooring, we check moisture with a hygrometer rather than judging by appearance, and we adjust the schedule where needed, especially if the work falls during a humid spell.

We had screed poured across the whole flat before laying parquet — dead level, no ridges anywhere, and they were upfront about how long we needed to wait before installation. Everything matched the quote, no surprises.
Our old apartment had a big level difference between rooms. They levelled it with screed and ran underfloor heating pipes into one of the rooms while they were at it. Great result — no more thresholds between rooms.
Had a structural screed done in the kitchen after we removed the old tiles. They turned up exactly on schedule, explained the process and gave clear guidance on drying time before the new flooring went in.
During the site visit we check floor level at several points in each room with a laser level, so we can see the real height differences rather than guess by eye. That tells us whether a few millimetres of self-levelling compound is enough, or whether the room needs a full cement and sand screed several centimetres thick.
A traditional cement and sand screed dries at roughly 1mm of thickness per day, so a 4-5cm layer can take four to six weeks or longer to release its moisture, depending on the season and Valencia's humidity. Thin self-levelling compounds dry much faster, often within a few days. Before laying moisture-sensitive flooring we check with a hygrometer rather than relying on the calendar alone.
Yes. When we pour a new screed we can embed water-based underfloor heating pipes or electric heating mats directly into the layer. This needs to be planned before the pour so we can calculate the right screed thickness and keep door thresholds level between rooms.
The cost is mainly based on floor area and the thickness of the pour, but the final price also depends on the condition of the sub-floor, whether old flooring needs to be removed, the type of screed, and whether underfloor heating pipes or waterproofing are included. We confirm the exact figure after an inspection and measurements.
Floor screed and levelling is a standard stage of a turnkey apartment or house renovation whenever the sub-floor needs it. We also carry it out as a stand-alone service if you only need the floor prepared for new flooring, without the rest of the renovation.
