Buckfastleigh renovators love liquid screed because it lets you keep the existing slab, add insulation and UFH, and still come in under a normal door threshold height.
Most Buckfastleigh renovations want UFH retro-fit. Liquid screed lets you wrap pipes in a thin build-up the original construction never planned for.
Most of our Buckfastleigh jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Buckfastleigh sits Exeter (22 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Renovation Screed in Buckfastleigh — how it works
Where you're stripping back to a sound original slab in Buckfastleigh, we'll prep, prime and bond a thin liquid screed straight onto it from 30mm — no need to dig out.
Old buildings move differently. We talk through movement joints at thresholds and against existing walls, so the new floor doesn't fight the old structure.

FAQs from Buckfastleigh clients
Will it work with my new UFH retro-fit?+
Yes — Cemfloor Therm at 50mm above pipe gives you full UFH performance in a renovation build-up most original structures can accommodate.
Can you do a single room rather than the whole house?+
Yes — single-room renovation pours are a regular run for us across Buckfastleigh, with movement joints at the doorway to isolate from neighbouring rooms.
Is liquid screed safe over a heritage property in Buckfastleigh?+
With proper edge isolation and movement joints, yes. We discuss any conservation-area or listed-building constraints up front.
Can you screed over my existing concrete floor in Buckfastleigh?+
Usually yes — if the slab is sound we bond a thin liquid screed straight on top from 30mm. We'll assess the Buckfastleigh substrate at the site visit and price accordingly.
Will the screed stick to my old skirtings?+
We fit edge isolation strip against every wall before the pour — no bonding to skirtings, no risk to plaster.
Can you match the new floor level to the existing rooms?+
Yes — we set datums off your existing FFL and finish the new slab to match, with allowance for floor coverings.
