Liquid UFH screed lets you run a thinner build-up than traditional bays — useful when ceiling heights or threshold levels are tight in Whipton renovations.
Most of our Whipton jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Whipton sits Exeter (2 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Whipton — how it works
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.
The screed self-levels around every loop, eliminating the voids you get under hand-laid traditional screed. That means the floor responds faster when the heating calls for it, and stores less wasted heat.
Built for Whipton homeowners and self-builders
Whipton is residential-heavy, with renovation, extension and self-build briefs dominating the diary. We work directly with homeowners and their builders, with a single point of contact for the screed package.

Whipton screed questions, answered
Can you pour over a heat-pump system in Whipton?+
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.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Whipton?+
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 Whipton clients to the 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.
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 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.
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.
