Underfloor heating only works as well as the screed encasing it — and in Woodbury that means a high-thermal-conductivity liquid pour that wraps every pipe with no voids.
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.
Most of our Woodbury jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Woodbury sits Exeter (8 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Underfloor Heating Screed in Woodbury — 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.
Who this is for in Woodbury
Woodbury sits rural — barn conversions, self-builds, agricultural sheds, equestrian floors. Access is usually fine, but power and water on site need confirming up front. We do that at the site visit.
Materials and systems we use in Woodbury
Cemfloor Therm
Liquid screed engineered for UFH — lambda 2.1 W/mK, fast response.
PIR/Phenolic insulation board
70-150mm typical depending on build regs U-value target.
Edge insulation strip
Critical around UFH zones to allow thermal expansion.
Pressure-testing kit
Pipes held at 6 bar through the pour to flag any damage immediately.

What backs our Woodbury work
Woodbury screed questions, answered
Why use liquid screed over UFH rather than sand-and-cement?+
Liquid screed flows around the pipes with no voids, giving 20-30% better thermal response and lower running costs than a hand-laid screed. That's why most Woodbury UFH installers recommend it.
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.
When can I switch the underfloor heating on in Woodbury?+
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 Woodbury 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.
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.
