When Combe Raleigh self-builders specify UFH, the screed is what makes the system efficient. We pump Cemfloor Therm directly around your pressure-tested pipework for full encapsulation.
For Combe Raleigh 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.
Most of our Combe Raleigh jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Combe Raleigh sits Exeter (18 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Combe Raleigh — how it works
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.
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.
Right fit for Combe Raleigh rural self-builders and farms
Combe Raleigh 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.

What backs our Combe Raleigh work
Combe Raleigh screed questions, answered
Can you pour over a heat-pump system in Combe Raleigh?+
Yes — and we'd argue you should. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than gas, so the screed's thermal conductivity matters more, not less.
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.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Combe Raleigh?+
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 Combe Raleigh 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.
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.
