For over 20 years, Buxton Flow Screeds has been the go-to team for self-levelling liquid screed across the West Midlands. We work with renovators, builders, and DIYers in to achieve perfectly level floors, fast. You can trust our experienced screeders to create a flawless finish, every time.
Self-levelling liquid screed offers significant advantages over traditional screeding. This pump-applied screed contains specialist binders for superior flow and strength. It finds its own level remarkably well, creating an extremely flat and smooth surface essential for modern floor finishes like large format tiles or LVT.
For builders and renovators in the West Midlands, this means faster project completion, reduced risk of shrinkage cracks, and a reliable, high-strength floor. Ask about rapid drying screed for even quicker turnarounds.
We use the top-quality UK floor screed suppliers and experienced screeders to deliver self-levelling floor screed services in the West Midlands.

Choose Buxton Flow Screeds, and you get:
Is liquid screed genuinely the best option for my underfloor heating system?
Absolutely, self-levelling liquid screed is ideal for UFH. Because it’s fluid it’s able to flow all around the pipes, encasing them completely and leaving no air gaps. This gives you excellent thermal conductivity, allowing your heating system to warm up faster and run more efficiently. We recommend thermal liquid screed for UFH installations. It’s designed to maximise heat transfer, ensuring you get the best performance from your underfloor heating investment. It makes a noticeable difference to comfort and running costs.
How long before I can walk on the new liquid screed floor and when can tiling start?
Light foot traffic’s possible on standard liquid screed after about 24-48 hours, depending on site conditions like temperature and humidity in your property. For tiling installation liquid screed usually needs several weeks to dry sufficiently. If your project timeline is tight, ask us at Buxton Flow Screeds about rapid drying screed options. These advanced formulas will reduce drying times, often allowing finishes to be applied much sooner.
What preparation work do I need to do before your team arrives to install the liquid screed?
We’ll provide you with detailed guidance but the main thing is to ensure that the floor base is structurally sound and clear of any debris. Insulation boards need to be laid flat and secure and polythene membrane needs to be correctly installed, lapped up the walls like a tank, forming a watertight barrier to contain the self-levelling liquid screed while it cures. We can talk you through all this in detail, so you’ll have help and guidance at every stage.
How thick is the liquid screed laid, and will it definitely end up perfectly level?
The required thickness for self-levelling liquid screed depends on the specific product and floor construction, but it’s typically laid between 40mm and 75mm. For floors with underfloor heating, we ensure sufficient depth, usually around 50-55mm, to properly encase the pipes.
Your floor will end up perfectly level. The screed’s fluidity means it naturally flows to find its own level, achieving a very flat and smooth surface (typically SR2 finish or better) across the entire area. This precise level achieved by the liquid screed is ideal for receiving floor finishes.
Can you give me a rough cost for liquid screed? How do I get an accurate quote?
