Screeding in Tipperary
Tipperary is the one county outside Leinster we cover, and it's a county of detached houses: 59% of its households at the 2022 Census. One-off houses were 36% of the new homes finished there in the first nine months of 2026, so much of the screeding is a single house at a time.
We pass requests from across County Tipperary to one screeding contractor who covers your county. They ring you, ask about the floor and price it. Nothing is booked until you say yes.

What's being built
Tipperary finished 498 new homes in the first nine months of 2026: 288 scheme houses, 180 one-off houses and 30 apartments. On a one-off house with underfloor heating, the screed's drying time decides when the floor finish can go down: see screed drying time for the days per mm, screed by screed.

Older homes
Census 2022 counted 7,210 Tipperary homes built before 1919 (12%) and 12,246 built before 1946, along with 36,307 detached houses. In a protected structure, lifting or relaying a floor is likely to need planning permission, according to the Department's guidance, and Irish guidance says lime floors may suit old buildings with a delicate moisture balance.

Tipperary
Radon under the floor
356 of the 2,907 Tipperary homes the EPA measured were at or above the radon reference level, with a county maximum of about 3,400 Bq/m³. Check the EPA's map for the site: in a High Radon Area the radon barrier goes in under the floor build-up, and every new building since 1 July 1998 has a standby sump.

FAQ
Tipperary questions
Do you cover all of Tipperary?
Yes: Clonmel, Nenagh, Thurles, Carrick-on-Suir, Roscrea, Tipperary town, Cashel and the rural sites across the county.
How much does floor screeding cost in Tipperary?
None of the Irish screeding contractors' websites we checked on 29 October 2026 publishes a price per m². The price comes from your floor: the area, the depth, the type of screed, access for the pump and what's under it. See the cost guide for Irish merchant prices and what a quote should list.
Which screed suits a new house in Tipperary?
Over underfloor heating, a liquid screed needs 25 mm over the pipes (Roadstone, Gyvlon, Cemfloor); a floating sand and cement screed in a house is normally 65 mm (MPA). The contractor advises once they know the floor zone and your dates.
Who will ring me?
