Types of Floor Screed We Supply & InstallConcrete In Cornwall supplies and installs various types of floor screed, ensuring the perfect base for your final flooring, tailored to project needs across Cornwall.
Traditional Sand & Cement Screed: A site-mixed or ready-mixed blend of sand, cement, and water. This versatile screed can be laid in several ways:
Liquid Flow Screed (Pump Applied): Gypsum or cement-based anhydrite screeds that are self-compacting and self-levelling. Pumped liquid screed offers rapid installation over large areas and is ideal for encapsulating underfloor heating pipes efficiently, providing excellent thermal conductivity. Popular for new builds and large renovations due to speed and finish quality.

Floor Screeds: Solving Cornish Renovation & Heating Challenges
Cornwall's diverse building stock, from historic cottages to modern developments, presents unique flooring challenges. Older properties often feature uneven sub-floors unsuitable for contemporary finishes. Concrete In Cornwall's screeding service provides the ideal solution, creating smooth, level surfaces even in challenging renovation scenarios. With the increasing focus on energy efficiency, underfloor heating is popular across Cornwall. Our screed installations, particularly pumped liquid screeds, are perfectly suited for UFH systems. They ensure efficient heat transfer and provide the necessary thermal mass, contributing to comfortable and cost-effective heating. Whether upgrading insulation in an older renovation home or installing UFH in a new build, we supply and install the appropriate screed system to maximise performance and provide the perfect base for your chosen floor covering, ensuring quality results tailored to your requirements.

What's the difference between screed types?
Traditional screeds are hand-applied sand/cement mixes. Flowing/liquid screeds are pump-applied, self-levelling, and often faster drying, ideal for UFH. We advise on the best type for your project based on sub-floor, heating, finish, and budget.
How long does floor screed take to dry?
Drying times vary significantly. Traditional screeds typically dry at ~1mm per day (longer for thicker sections). Flowing screeds are often much faster. We provide specific drying time estimates based on the screed type and conditions at your site. Foot traffic is possible much sooner.
What thickness does screed need to be?
Minimum thickness depends on the type (bonded, unbonded, floating) and whether UFH is present. Typical thicknesses range from 40mm to 75mm. We ensure the correct specification is met for your construction project.
Can screed go directly over underfloor heating pipes?
Yes, both traditional and flowing screeds are suitable. Flowing screeds offer superior pipe encasement and thermal conductivity, making them a preferred choice for UFH efficiency.
How level will the screed floor be?
We work to industry standards (e.g., SR1, SR2, SR3) for surface regularity, ensuring a suitably flat base for your chosen floor finish. Liquid flow screeds naturally achieve very high levels of flatness.
How is floor screeding priced?
Cost depends on the area (m²), screed type, thickness, site access (pump required?), and required flatness tolerance for your project. We offer detailed, competitive quotes.
What areas in Cornwall do you provide screeding services?
Our experienced teams cover all of Cornwall, installing high-quality floor screeds for projects of all sizes, from Penzance to Launceston and everywhere between.

The Perfect Base: Floor Screeds for Underfloor Heating & Flawless Finishes in Cornwall
The quality of your finished floor screed is directly dependent on the quality of the sub-floor beneath it. A professionally installed floor screed is the crucial intermediate layer that guarantees success, especially when incorporating modern features like underfloor heating (UFH) in your property.
Maximising Underfloor Heating Efficiency:
Underfloor heating requires excellent thermal conductivity from the surrounding screed to work efficiently. Flowing liquid screeds installed by Concrete In Cornwall fully encapsulate UFH pipes, eliminating air voids and ensuring rapid, even heat distribution. This maximises system responsiveness and energy efficiency, keeping your home comfortably warm without wasting energy.
Achieving Flawless Final Floor Finishes:
Modern floor coverings like large format tiles, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), engineered wood, or resin demand a perfectly smooth and level base. Any imperfections in the sub-floor will telegraph through, compromising the final look and potentially causing premature wear. Our precision screeding ensures the required Surface Regularity (SR) standards are met, providing the ideal canvas for your chosen finish and guaranteeing a professional, long-lasting result appreciated in quality Cornish and UK homes as well as commercial spaces.
The Foundation for Quality:
Investing in a high-quality screed installation from Concrete In Cornwall is investing in the overall quality and longevity of your entire flooring system. It ensures your underfloor heating performs optimally and your beautiful final floor finish looks its best for years to come.
