Renovation Screed in Poundbury — how it works
Where you're stripping back to a sound original slab in Poundbury, 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 Poundbury clients
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 Poundbury?+
Usually yes — if the slab is sound we bond a thin liquid screed straight on top from 30mm. We'll assess the Poundbury substrate at the site visit and price accordingly.
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.
Is liquid screed safe over a heritage property in Poundbury?+
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 Poundbury, with movement joints at the doorway to isolate from neighbouring rooms.
How do you handle threshold heights in older Poundbury properties?+
We design the build-up around your target finished-floor level — including covering thickness — so doors still swing and thresholds still meet. Often that means thinner insulation and a thinner screed.
