Underfloor Heating Screed for Crewkerne Builds
Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Crewkerne 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 Crewkerne 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 Crewkerne jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Crewkerne sits Taunton (18 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Crewkerne — how it works
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.
For Crewkerne 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.
Cemfloor systems for Crewkerne
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.

FAQs from Crewkerne clients
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Crewkerne?+
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 Crewkerne clients to the 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.
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 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.
Do you fit the UFH pipes yourself?+
We work alongside your chosen UFH installer rather than fitting pipes ourselves — most Crewkerne jobs come with a heating sub-contractor already lined up, and we coordinate dates with them.
From the first site visit to the final laitance sand, our Crewkerne jobs are run as one fixed-price piece of work — no creeping extras.
