Liquid Screed and Underfloor Heating Specialists in Hounslow
K M Flow Screed installs liquid screed, self levelling compound and underfloor heating, working from a base in Frimley Green with our own fleet of ready mix trucks rather than hiring one in for the day. The same materials go into every job, our own self levelling compounds, acrylic primer sealers and rapid setting mortar included.
On a phased housing development, a housebuilder’s spec usually calls for the same finished floor level across every plot of a given house type, so staircases, door sets and kitchen units all fit without adjustment on site. We work from that spec sheet rather than by eye, which matters once you are pouring the same floor thirty or forty times over.

Liquid screed, self levelling compound and underfloor heating make up the bulk of what we do here, using acrylic primer sealers and rapid setting mortar from our own stock. Here is what each one actually involves.
Liquid Screed
Cement, water and additives combine into a self levelling mix that gets pumped and spread across the floor, leaving it smooth without the effort a hand mixed screed takes. On a phased development we pour to the same finished level on every plot of a given house type, working from the housebuilder’s spec sheet rather than by eye. It is generally walkable within 24 to 48 hours of the pour.
Underfloor Heating
New build plots almost always specify underfloor heating from the plans stage, which makes the install straightforward since the screed depth and pipe layout get planned together from day one. We install and repair both wet, hydronic systems and dry, electric systems, using thermal imaging equipment to find faults fast, whether that is an air lock, a wiring problem, or a zone refusing to heat.
Two types of job come up most often here, large phased housing developments where dozens of near identical plots need the same floor spec, and older properties now being renovated and upgraded one at a time. Both get the same trained crew and fleet of ready mix trucks out from Frimley Green.

Underfloor Heating Screed
Screed depth over underfloor heating pipework matters more than most people realise. Get it too thin and the system loses efficiency, too thick and it takes considerably longer to heat and to dry. We work to 50 to 55mm of liquid screed over the pipework as standard, or a minimum of 65mm where a hand mixed screed is used, always over a properly insulated slab.
Self-Levelling Compound
In older housing the existing concrete floor is usually sound, just not level or smooth enough for modern flooring to go straight down. Self levelling compound sorts that out in a fraction of the depth of a full screed, sometimes as little as an eighth of an inch. It sets quickly, so it needs an experienced team handling it. We lay it over screed, concrete or timber, ready for carpet, tile, LVT or wood.
FAQs
You can normally walk on liquid screed within 24 to 48 hours of it being poured, depending on the thickness of the layer and the conditions on site. That is just the start of the process though. Full drying, meaning the point where the floor is ready for tiles, wood or other coverings, takes considerably longer , and we will always give you a realistic drying schedule for your specific job rather than a generic figure.
For most Farnborough jobs we install liquid screed at 50 to 55mm over underfloor heating pipework, which keeps the layer thin enough for efficient heat transfer while still protecting the pipes properly. Where a hand mixed screed is being used instead of liquid, the minimum depth increases to 65mm. The exact depth always depends on the pipe spacing and the insulation beneath the slab, which we assess on site before quoting.
Yes. Self levelling compound is designed to go over existing screed, concrete or timber floors, and is one of the main reasons it is so useful for renovation projects in Farnborough where ripping out the existing floor is not practical. It can be applied in layers as thin as an eighth of an inch, so it is often the quickest way to get an uneven floor ready for new carpet, tile, LVT or wood.
Yes, we carry out both. Common problems we are called out for include air locked pipes, wiring faults, worn out heating pumps and individual zones that will not heat up properly. We use thermal imaging equipment to find the exact source of the problem before starting any repair work, which keeps disruption to your Farnborough property to a minimum.
Yes, there is no charge and no obligation for a quote. We will visit the property, assess what is needed, and give you a clear price and timescale before any work is agreed.
