Ilfracombe 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 Ilfracombe 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 Ilfracombe jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Ilfracombe sits Barnstaple (13 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Built for Ilfracombe coastal residential and hospitality clients

Ilfracombe is a coastal town, so damp control, salt exposure and tight winter pour windows shape every brief. We work the diary around that — and around the holiday-let turnover that funds half the jobs here.

Renovation Screed in Ilfracombe — how it works

Where you're stripping back to a sound original slab in Ilfracombe, 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 Ilfracombe clients

Is liquid screed safe over a heritage property in Ilfracombe?+

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 Ilfracombe?+

Usually yes — if the slab is sound we bond a thin liquid screed straight on top from 30mm. We'll assess the Ilfracombe substrate at the site visit and price accordingly.

Can you do a single room rather than the whole house?+

Yes — single-room renovation pours are a regular run for us across Ilfracombe, 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.

Do I need building control sign-off?+

If the renovation triggers building regs (often yes for UFH retrofit), your building control officer will want to see the build-up. We provide datasheets and pour records to make that easy.
