Underfloor Heating Not Working? The Screed Mistake Builders Make

levelling compound in Swindon | Why Floors in Swindon Homes Last Long

Your heating system is not the problem. Your floor is.

Homeowners in Berkshire contact us every month. They describe cold spots in their living rooms and mention slow warm-up times. They complain about energy bills that climb higher each quarter. The problem sometimes is that they cover the concrete floor with levelling compound in Berkshire. Liquid screed is what they need instead.

We listen closely because we supply the materials that fix these exact issues. The root cause often hides beneath the surface in the screed layer. Builders install underfloor heating pipes with care. Yet they pair those pipes with the wrong screed material.

The Issue With Sand And Cement Screeds

Traditional sand and cement screeds sit on top of the pipes. This creates small voids where air collects. The pipes remain warm to the touch, but the floor surface stays lukewarm. Traditional screed also needs extra thickness to achieve a flat finish. That extra depth traps heat longer.

Many projects choose a levelling compound in Berkshire as the fix. Contractors apply it as a final smoothing layer over uneven traditional screed. It solves visible problems with the finish, but leaves the thermal inefficiency untouched below.

What We Do To Help

We at Top Mix Ltd help builders and homeowners avoid the mistake entirely. Our liquid screed suits underfloor heating projects across the region. We formulate it with a calcium sulphate base that conducts heat more efficiently than traditional options.

Drying times shorten, and your projects move forward weeks sooner than with conventional methods.
