For over two decades, Buxton Flow Screeds has been the trusted name for high-quality self-levelling liquid screed solutions across Gloucestershire. Whether you’re a homeowner renovating your property, a builder overseeing a new development, or a keen DIY enthusiast, we’re here to ensure your floors are perfectly level, efficiently and reliably. Our experienced team of screeders is dedicated to delivering an exceptional finish every single time.
Choosing self-levelling liquid screed offers significant advantages over traditional screeding methods. This advanced screed, which we apply using a pump, contains special binders that boost its flow and overall strength. Its remarkable self levelling ability creates an incredibly flat and smooth surface – the perfect foundation for modern flooring options such as large-format tiles or luxurious vinyl tile (LVT).
For builders and renovators throughout Gloucestershire, this means faster project timelines, a lower chance of shrinkage cracks, and a consistently strong, dependable floor base. And don’t forget to ask us about our rapid-drying screed options for even quicker project completion!

When you choose us, you can expect:
Is liquid screed genuinely the best option for my underfloor heating system?
Absolutely! Self-levelling liquid screed is incredibly effective for underfloor heating (UFH) systems. Its fluid nature means it expertly flows around your UFH pipes, completely encasing them without leaving any air gaps. This translates into exceptional thermal conductivity, allowing your heating system to warm up much faster and run far more efficiently. For UFH installations, we highly recommend thermal liquid screed. It’s specifically designed to maximise heat transfer, ensuring you get the absolute best performance and value from your underfloor heating investment. You’ll notice a significant difference in both comfort and your energy bills!
How long before I can walk on the new liquid screed floor and when can tiling start?
You’ll typically be able to introduce light foot traffic on a standard liquid screed after about 24-48 hours. This can vary a little depending on your property’s specific site conditions, such as temperature and humidity. When it comes to tiling, liquid screed usually needs several weeks to dry sufficiently. If your project timeline is particularly tight, don’t hesitate to ask us at about rapid-drying screed. These advanced formulas are designed to significantly reduce drying times, often allowing floor 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, easy-to-follow guidance, but the main thing is to ensure your floor base is structurally sound and completely free of any debris. Insulation boards need to be laid flat and securely, and a polythene membrane must be correctly installed. This membrane should be lapped up the walls like a tank, forming a watertight barrier to effectively contain the self-levelling liquid screed as it cures. Don’t worry, we’ll talk you through all of this in detail, so you’ll have our help and guidance at every single stage.
How thick is the liquid screed laid, and will it definitely end up perfectly level?
The exact thickness required for self-levelling liquid screed depends on the specific product and your floor’s construction, but it’s typically laid between 40mm and 75mm. For floors incorporating underfloor heating, we ensure sufficient depth – usually around 50-55mm – to properly encase the pipes.
Yes, your floor will absolutely end up perfectly level! The screed’s incredible fluidity means it naturally flows to find its own level, resulting in a remarkably flat and smooth surface (typically achieving an SR2 finish or even better) across the entire area. This precise level achieved by the liquid screed is simply ideal for receiving any type of floor finish.
Can you give me a rough cost for liquid screed? How do I get an accurate quote?
The cost of installing self-levelling liquid screed depends on several key factors. These include the total area size, the required depth, site access within Gloucestershire, and whether you need specific products like rapid-drying screed.
