Sherborne Renovation Screed Specialists

Sherborne 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 Sherborne 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 Sherborne jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Sherborne sits Yeovil (5 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Built for Sherborne homeowners and contractors alike
Sherborne runs a healthy mix of residential renovation and small-to-medium commercial fit-out. We price both, and run both with the same fixed-price approach.

Renovation Screed in Sherborne — how it works
Where you're stripping back to a sound original slab in Sherborne, 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.

- 2
Strip and prep, or prime existing slab
- 3

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