A self-build heating pour near Tiverton
On a self-build the screed sits between two other trades: the heating installer before, the flooring after. We pour 50–65mm of flowing screed over the pipes so the heat spreads evenly, and the uplift for an underfloor heating floor is typically £2–£4 per m².
The practical advice we give every self-builder is to book the screed at the same time as the heating installer. Self-build pours are normally booked three to six weeks ahead; send drawings early and we will pencil a provisional date.
Choosing the mix for a Mid Devon house
We install both families of liquid screed. Cemfloor CT-C30-F6 and Cemfloor Therm are cement-based and need no sanding before tiling. Gyvlon and Gypsol are anhydrite (calcium sulphate) screeds that flow beautifully around pipework but need the laitance sanding off before adhesives go down.
Either way you get one fixed price from drawings, a single pump day and a floor finished to SR1. Tiverton is inside our no-surcharge area, so there is nothing added for the drive up from Exeter.
What a Tiverton self-builder should send us
Floor plans with room sizes, the heating layout if you have it, and a rough idea of when the roof and windows will be on. The building needs to be weathertight before a pour, so that date usually sets ours. From there we confirm depth, mix and a fixed price in writing.
