Underfloor heating screed
An important part of the floor build-up
Planning to install underfloor heating? The screed is an important part of the floor system because it surrounds and protects the heating pipework while creating the surface required for the final flooring. We provide screeding for underfloor heating installations throughout London and Essex.
Screed & underfloor heating
A suitable screed system can help provide:
- Full coverage around heating pipes
- A smooth and level finished surface
- Protection for underfloor heating pipework
- An effective floor construction
- A suitable base for many final floor finishes
The correct depth and screed specification depend on the heating system, the floor construction and the manufacturer's requirements.
Preparing for screeding
Before screeding takes place, the floor should normally be properly prepared and the underfloor heating system securely installed according to the project specification. If you are unsure about preparation, speak to us before your screeding date — call 07877 603160.

Can screed be installed over underfloor heating?
Yes — suitable screed systems are commonly used with underfloor heating. The right system and depth depend on the floor design and the heating manufacturer's specification. See underfloor heating screed.
How long does floor screed take to dry?
Drying time varies with the screed product, the depth, temperature, ventilation, moisture conditions and the site environment. Always follow the relevant product specification before installing the final floor covering.
How thick does floor screed need to be?
Required thickness varies with the screed product and floor construction. Bonded, unbonded, floating and underfloor-heating floors all have different requirements.
Do I need to prepare the floor before you arrive?
The floor generally needs to be clean and correctly prepared for the chosen screeding system. If you are unsure, speak to us before your screeding date and we will talk it through — see floor preparation.
