Underfloor heating retrofits across Evesham's later estates
Fitting underfloor heating into an existing house is normally done when the ground floor is being replaced or an extension is going on. The new floor has to finish level with the rest of the house, so the whole build-up, from insulation to pipes to screed, must fit in the height available.
This is where the screed type matters. Pumped screed needs 25mm or more over the loops, about 45 to 50mm overall. Hand-laid screed wants roughly 45mm above them, which makes for a thicker floor. In a new extension the difference rarely matters, because the build-up is designed from the start. In a retrofit where the height is tight, a flowing liquid screed over pipes is often what makes the floor fit.
Detached homes are 28% of the town's housing. Larger plots tend to bring larger heated spaces, such as a kitchen extension running the width of the house or a separate garden room. A flowing screed covers those with few joints and surrounds every pipe without air pockets, which gives a faster warm-up.
Insulation under the pipes makes a big difference to running costs, because without it heat drains into the ground. Before pouring, we look over the insulation, the membrane and the perimeter strip, and our insulation and membranes work can provide whatever is missing. Laying the pipework stays with your heating engineer.
Pipe cover and first heat-up in Evesham
Heating a new screed too early, or too fast, is the classic way to crack it. The heat-up has to wait, then rise slowly.
Calcium sulphate can normally be warmed gently once it is about 7 days old; hand-laid cement screed needs 21 days or more. After that, the temperature climbs in steps across several days, sits there, then drops back before the flooring goes in. You get those steps on paper, so your plumber and your household follow one plan.
On a ground floor close to the Avon, also think about the material. Water and calcium sulphate do not mix, so a heated room at risk of flooding needs a cement screed instead. Our guide to drying times explains how heat-up and drying interact.
