Across Awliscombe we work hand-in-hand with UFH installers — they lay and pressure-test the pipes, we pour around them the next day at the right depth and thermal performance.
Liquid UFH screed lets you run a thinner build-up than traditional bays — useful when ceiling heights or threshold levels are tight in Awliscombe renovations.
Most of our Awliscombe jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Awliscombe sits Exeter (16 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Right fit for Awliscombe rural self-builders and farms
Awliscombe sits rural — barn conversions, self-builds, agricultural sheds, equestrian floors. Access is usually fine, but power and water on site need confirming up front. We do that at the site visit.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Awliscombe — how it works
Liquid UFH screed lets you run a thinner build-up than traditional bays — useful when ceiling heights or threshold levels are tight in Awliscombe renovations.
We pour Cemfloor Therm liquid screed over your UFH pipes at 50mm above pipe (typically 65-75mm total over insulation), giving full pipe encapsulation, fast thermal response and a finished surface flat to SR1.
How a Awliscombe pour runs
- 1
UFH installer fits manifold, pipes and pressure-tests to 6 bar
- 2
We confirm edge insulation, DPM and pipe coverage depth
- 3
Pump and level the screed with pipes still under pressure
- 4
Slow commissioning of the heating — usually after 7 days, ramping per manufacturer spec
- 5
Floor coverings once moisture is signed off and commissioning is complete

Common Awliscombe build questions
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Awliscombe?+
On Cemfloor Therm we typically start a slow commissioning cycle from day 7, ramping 5°C per day per manufacturer spec. Forcing it earlier risks cracking, so we hold Awliscombe clients to the schedule.
What if a pipe leaks during the pour?+
Pipes are held at 6 bar through the pour. Any pressure drop is flagged immediately and we stop, fix and continue — this is exactly why we keep the manifold under test.
Does liquid UFH screed improve EPC ratings?+
Indirectly — yes. Faster response and lower running temperatures help heat-pump COP, which feeds into your SAP/EPC. We'll share the manufacturer data your assessor needs.
Will the screed crack as the UFH heats up?+
Properly isolated at the edges and at doorway joints, no. We pour with the pipes pressure-tested and follow a controlled commissioning schedule.
What depth of screed over UFH pipes do you recommend?+
Minimum 50mm cover above the highest pipe — usually a 65-75mm total slab over insulation. Thicker if you want more thermal mass.
How does this affect my floor coverings in Awliscombe?+
Once commissioned and the floor moisture content is signed off (CM test, typically below 0.5% for tile), most coverings go down as normal. We hand you a commissioning record.
