Liquid UFH screed in South Brent replaces the air gaps and voids that bog standard sand-and-cement leaves around pipes, lifting system response and cutting running costs.
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.
Most of our South Brent jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. South Brent sits Exeter (28 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in South Brent — how it works
For South Brent 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 South Brent renovations.

What people in South Brent usually ask
Can you pour over a heat-pump system in South Brent?+
Yes — and we'd argue you should. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than gas, so the screed's thermal conductivity matters more, not less.
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.
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 South Brent?+
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 South Brent 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 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.
South Brent 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.
