A local guide to liquid screed floor contractors in Cheshire

Cheshire’s eclectic mix of new build and renovation projects has prompted an ongoing demand for liquid screed floor contractors.

Areas like Knutsford, Wilsmlow, Chester and Warrington are hives of activity for house building, and residential and commercial property developments. All build projects need floor contractors who can install high quality, smooth floors, ready for a final floor finish. Liquid screed is fast becoming the screed of choice amongst floor contractors to meet project demand.

Why liquid screed is popular with specifiers in Cheshire

Developers of high-end, luxury renovations and extensions in affluent locations such as Alderley Edge and Prestbury, pair liquid screed with underfloor heating systems because it enhances their performance. More on this in the next section.
Liquid screed flows easily into irregular floor layouts and around unconventionally shaped structures, making it ideal for barn and agricultural conversions that are becoming so popular across Cheshire.
For developments of multiple properties in areas of Cheshire undergoing regeneration, liquid screed is quick to install and covers large areas without joints (100m² with underfloor heating, 150m² without). Liquid screed also provides consistency in quality and performance from property to property.

Liquid screed and underfloor heating for Cheshire properties

Liquid screed is ideal with underfloor heating in Cheshire properties for the following reasons:

Liquid screed is formulated to deliver top thermal conductivity
As an exceptionally strong material, liquid screed can be laid very thinly. This improves the performance and responsiveness of the UFH system, and facilitates the even distribution of heat throughout a room
The thin layer of liquid screed leaves room for more insulation. Insulation is crucial for UFH systems. Clockwork Screed can install poured insulation before the underfloor heating pipework is laid
Liquid screed self-compacts around the pipework which prevents the formation of gaps from which heat could be lost down into the subfloor
The warmth generated by the UFH system is retained and distributed by the liquid screed for some time after the system has been switched off. This saves energy and reduces the running costs of the UFH system.
