Underfloor Heating Screed for Bawdrip Builds
Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Bawdrip that means a high-thermal-conductivity liquid pour that wraps every pipe with no voids.

Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Bawdrip that means a high-thermal-conductivity liquid pour that wraps every pipe with no voids.
The screed self-levels around every loop, eliminating the voids you get under hand-laid traditional screed. That means the floor responds faster when the heating calls for it, and stores less wasted heat.
Most of our Bawdrip jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Bawdrip sits Bridgwater (3 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Right fit for Bawdrip homeowners and self-builders
Bawdrip is residential-heavy, with renovation, extension and self-build briefs dominating the diary. We work directly with homeowners and their builders, with a single point of contact for the screed package.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Bawdrip — how it works
For Bawdrip UFH builds the typical sequence is: insulation board down, pipes clipped and pressure-tested, edge insulation in place, then we pump and level in a single visit.
Liquid UFH screed lets you run a thinner build-up than traditional bays — useful when ceiling heights or threshold levels are tight in Bawdrip renovations.
How a Bawdrip 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

Cemfloor Therm
Liquid screed engineered for UFH — lambda 2.1 W/mK, fast response.
PIR/Phenolic insulation board
70-150mm typical depending on build regs U-value target.
Edge insulation strip
Critical around UFH zones to allow thermal expansion.
Pressure-testing kit
Pipes held at 6 bar through the pour to flag any damage immediately.

What people in Bawdrip usually ask
How does this affect my floor coverings in Bawdrip?+
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.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Bawdrip?+
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 Bawdrip 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.
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.
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.
