Underfloor Heating and Screed Package Costs
Underfloor heating and liquid screed are designed to work together — but that doesn't mean they're priced together by default.

Underfloor heating and liquid screed are a natural pairing: the screed encapsulates the pipework and acts as the thermal mass that spreads heat evenly across the floor. Most of the liquid screed poured across Devon today sits over some form of UFH.
Whether you're quoted UFH and screed as one combined package or as two separate contracts (UFH supply-and-fit, then screed pour) depends on who you're working with. Either arrangement can work well, but the split needs to be clear so nothing falls through the gap between trades.
Here's what's specific to UFH pricing within a screed job, regardless of who's supplying the heating system itself.
What UFH adds to a screed job
- Pressure-testing the pipework before and during the pour, and keeping it under pressure throughout
- Confirming minimum cover over the pipe — typically 30mm bonded, more if unbonded
- Careful clipping and checking pipe layout against the manifold design before we pour
- Agreeing a commissioning heat-up curve with your heating installer once the screed has dried
UFH-related cost items to check on a quote
| Item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Pipe pressure test | Confirmed before pour, ideally by the heating installer with us present |
| Cover depth | Stated in mm, matched to bonded/unbonded detail |
| Screed conductivity | Cemfloor or a UFH-specific anhydrite mix (e.g. Thermio+, ThermIO) |
| Commissioning | Heat-up curve timing agreed with the drying programme |

How a combined UFH-and-screed job typically runs
- 1
Design handover
We review the manifold and pipe-spacing plan from your heating designer or installer.
- 2
Pre-pour pressure test
Pipework is pressure-tested and left under pressure through the pour.
- 3
Pour to cover depth
Screed is poured to the agreed minimum cover over the pipe.
- 4
Drying, then commissioning
Once the screed reaches the required moisture level, first heat is applied per manufacturer guidance.
Confirm who's responsible for the pressure test — us, your heating installer, or both — before pour day, not on it.
