Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Othery 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 Othery jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Othery sits Bridgwater (7 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Othery — how it works
We pour Cemfloor Therm liquid screed over your UFH pipes at 50mm above pipe (typically 65-75mm total over insulation), giving full pipe encapsulation, fast thermal response and a finished surface flat to SR1.
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.

What backs our Othery work
Othery screed questions, answered
Why use liquid screed over UFH rather than sand-and-cement?+
Liquid screed flows around the pipes with no voids, giving 20-30% better thermal response and lower running costs than a hand-laid screed. That's why most Othery UFH installers recommend it.
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.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Othery?+
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 Othery 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.
Othery jobs reward proper site prep. We'll spec the build-up with your UFH installer, agree the pour window, and leave you a floor your tilers will thank us for.
