Screed for Underfloor Heating — Optimised for Performance
Screed acts as the thermal mass for underfloor heating, ensuring even heat transfer and long-term performance. We calculate the correct screed depth (commonly 50–55mm for certain systems) and use mixes that maximise conductivity and minimise shrinkage.
Benefits:
- Improved heat transfer & even room temperatures.
- Durable, low-maintenance floor base.
- Proven practices for pipe spacing, pressure testing and conditioning.
Underfloor Heating Screed Services Across the South East
Underfloor heating systems covered with screed are a highly efficient way to distribute heat evenly throughout your home or commercial space. The screed acts as a reliable medium for heat transfer, filling gaps and preventing air bubbles, which can disrupt the thermal energy exchange. This ensures a consistent, even distribution of heat across the entire floor, creating a comfortable and warm environment.
At All Screed South East, we specialise in the installation and repair of underfloor heating screed systems, delivering expert advice and the highest standard of service throughout the South East of England.

Installing Liquid Screed with Underfloor Heating
At All Screed South East, we are specialists in installing liquid screed in combination with underfloor heating systems. This method provides superior thermal performance, ensuring optimal movement and expansion of the pipes. The liquid screed is easy to pour, and its quick-drying properties help speed up the installation process, allowing you to complete your project faster.
Once installed, the screed hardens quickly, providing a flat, smooth surface that is walkable within 24 to 48 hours.
Careful Determination of Screed Depth
We understand that the proper depth of screed is crucial to ensure the efficiency of your underfloor heating system. Our experts carefully calculate the correct thickness, typically installing the screed at a depth of 50mm or 55mm, to ensure the pipes are optimally covered.
This not only ensures even heat distribution but also promotes consistent temperatures throughout the room, enhancing the performance of your heating system.
