Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Hatherleigh 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 Hatherleigh jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Hatherleigh sits Exeter (28 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Hatherleigh — how it works
For Hatherleigh 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 Hatherleigh renovations.
Materials and systems we use in Hatherleigh
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.

Why Hatherleigh clients pick us
What people in Hatherleigh usually ask
How does this affect my floor coverings in Hatherleigh?+
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.
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.
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 Hatherleigh?+
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 Hatherleigh 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.
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.
If you're planning Underfloor Heating Screed in Hatherleigh, the brief almost always comes down to flatness, dry-time and access — get those right and the trades behind you stay on programme.
