a South-Hams hilltop market town with conservation retrofits and farm-conversion work — which is why our renovation screed in Modbury is engineered for tight constraints, not new-build freedom.
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.
Most of our Modbury jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Modbury sits Plymouth (12 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Built for Modbury rural self-builders and farms
Modbury 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.

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