Renovation Screed in Lapford

Lapford 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 Lapford 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 Lapford jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Lapford sits Exeter (16 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Renovation Screed in Lapford — how it works
Most Lapford renovations want UFH retro-fit. Liquid screed lets you wrap pipes in a thin build-up the original construction never planned for.
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.

Common Lapford build questions
Can you do a single room rather than the whole house?+
Yes — single-room renovation pours are a regular run for us across Lapford, 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.
Can you screed over my existing concrete floor in Lapford?+
Usually yes — if the slab is sound we bond a thin liquid screed straight on top from 30mm. We'll assess the Lapford substrate at the site visit and price accordingly.
Is liquid screed safe over a heritage property in Lapford?+
With proper edge isolation and movement joints, yes. We discuss any conservation-area or listed-building constraints up front.
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.
