Clockwork Underfloor Heating supplies and installs water underfloor heating for screed floors.
Water underfloor heating and screed floors work exceptionally well together. The screed enhances the performance of the UFH system, allowing the heat to be distributed evenly and cost-effectively throughout a room.
What is water underfloor heating?
Water underfloor heating is a UFH system that is made of a network of pipes installed in the floor, through which hot water is distributed by a boiler or heat pump. A wet underfloor heating system is more energy efficient and generates superior comfort compared to traditional radiators.
What is screed underfloor heating?
Screed underfloor heating is when a concrete screed floor is installed on top of the underfloor heating system as part of the UFH installation project, avoiding the need to appoint separate contractors to complete the work.
Sister companies Clockwork Underfloor Heating and Clockwork Screed work together on screed underfloor heating projects to provide a seamless service with just one point of contact.
The outcome of a screed underfloor heating installation is a strong, smooth floor onto which a final floor covering can be laid, and a highly efficient underfloor heating system.
Why choose liquid screed UFH?
There are several reasons to choose liquid screed UFH:
- Screed underfloor heating systems are compatible with renewable heat sources
- Liquid screed self-levels to produce a smooth and robust, completely flat floor surface over the UFH system
- The strength of liquid screed allows for a thin application that provides an even distribution of heat upwards into the room. In contrast, traditional heat sources such as radiators produce hot and cold spots and require balancing to optimise heat output
- Energy efficiency is higher with a screed UFH system because the screed provides a thermal mass that efficiently stores and returns heat
- The thermal conductivity of screed makes the UFH system more responsive when switched on. It also holds the heat for longer, so keeps the room warm for some time after it has been switched off
- Liquid screed is poured onto the UFH system so fully covers the pipework, protecting it from damage and preventing the escape of heat through gaps around the pipes
- The above efficiencies minimise energy use and costs.
Clockwork UFH 4 step process – water underfloor heating for screed floors
Clockwork UFH works to a 4 step process when installing water underfloor heating for screed floors:
- Planning and design
We plan and design bespoke water underfloor heating for screed floors using the latest CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. A customised UFH system optimises efficiencies and performance because it is designed specifically for the property into which it is installed.
- Lay insulation
Insulation below the UFH system is essential for ensuring heat is distributed upwards, rather than leaking downwards into the subfloor
- UFH installation
We then install the underfloor heating system using the best quality components. Our materials and installation procedures comply with relevant industry standards
- Pour liquid screed
The final stage is the application of the screed which is poured over the underfloor heating system.

PROJECT FOCUS
High end Residential, Manchester
We planned and installed an underfloor heating system into a contemporary home in Manchester. Not only that, we finished the installation with a smooth, even and high quality liquid floor screed.
Our team worked with the end user’s architect, ensuring the home benefitted with a visually striking but also inherently comfortable and environmentally conscious heating solution.
The client now enjoys an enhanced living experience, reduced energy bills, and an aesthetically uncompromised living space that flows through the whole house.
