Underfloor Heating Screed · Somerset
Pitminster Underfloor Heating Screed Specialists
Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Pitminster that means a high-thermal-conductivity liquid pour that wraps every pipe with no voids.

Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Pitminster 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 Pitminster jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Pitminster sits Taunton (5 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Built for Pitminster rural self-builders and farms
Pitminster 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.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Pitminster — how it works
For Pitminster 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 Pitminster renovations.
Step-by-step for a Pitminster job
- 1
UFH installer fits manifold, pipes and pressure-tests to 6 bar
- 2
We confirm edge insulation, DPM and pipe coverage depth
- 3
Pump and level the screed with pipes still under pressure
- 4
Slow commissioning of the heating — usually after 7 days, ramping per manufacturer spec
- 5
Floor coverings once moisture is signed off and commissioning is complete

Cemfloor systems for Pitminster
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.

What people in Pitminster usually ask
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 Pitminster UFH installers recommend it.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Pitminster?+
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 Pitminster clients to the schedule.
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.
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.
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.
