Liquid UFH screed in Wareham 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 Wareham jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Wareham sits Poole (10 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Wareham — how it works
For Wareham 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 Wareham renovations.

What people in Wareham usually ask
Do you fit the UFH pipes yourself?+
We work alongside your chosen UFH installer rather than fitting pipes ourselves — most Wareham jobs come with a heating sub-contractor already lined up, and we coordinate dates with them.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Wareham?+
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 Wareham clients to the schedule.
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.
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.
