Across Cerne Abbas we lay overlay and replacement screeds for renovations from period cottages to 1960s semis, using thin-section liquid pours where ceiling heights or thresholds are constrained.
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.
Most of our Cerne Abbas jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Cerne Abbas sits Dorchester (8 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Right fit for Cerne Abbas rural self-builders and farms
Cerne Abbas 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.

Renovation Screed in Cerne Abbas — how it works
Renovation pours typically run unbonded over insulation, with edge isolation against existing walls. We can lay from 35mm where headroom is tight, or full 65-75mm builds where the room can take it.
Where you're stripping back to a sound original slab in Cerne Abbas, we'll prep, prime and bond a thin liquid screed straight onto it from 30mm — no need to dig out.

Cerne Abbas screed questions, answered
What about screeding over a suspended timber floor?+
We can — with insulation, a DPM and structural sign-off that the joists can take the additional dead load. This is common in Cerne Abbas period properties.
Is liquid screed safe over a heritage property in Cerne Abbas?+
With proper edge isolation and movement joints, yes. We discuss any conservation-area or listed-building constraints up front.
Can you do a single room rather than the whole house?+
Yes — single-room renovation pours are a regular run for us across Cerne Abbas, with movement joints at the doorway to isolate from neighbouring rooms.
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.
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 screed over my existing concrete floor in Cerne Abbas?+
Usually yes — if the slab is sound we bond a thin liquid screed straight on top from 30mm. We'll assess the Cerne Abbas substrate at the site visit and price accordingly.
