Buxton Flow Screeds is your trusted UFH partner in Essex. We deliver specialist advice and flawless installations for renovations and new builds, and extensions.
To ensure we get the most from your underfloor heating installation, we use self-levelling liquid screed for new builds and extensions. It wraps snugly around every pipe, eliminating air gaps for flawless heat transfer. The result is luxurious, even warmth throughout your home, faster heat-up times, and lower energy bills.
If you’re retrofitting UFH into your current Essex home, you may have concerns about adding a modern heating system without disrupting your floor height or spoiling the original charm. The biggest challenge in a renovation is maintaining the original feel and flow of your home.
Our solution is an advanced levelling compound that keeps your floors sleek and low. We apply an ultra-thin layer (just 15-20mm) that seamlessly covers the system without altering your floor height. You get to keep your home’s character intact, with the huge added benefit of incredibly responsive heating that warms the room up in no time.

I live in a house with low ceilings and I’m worried about raising the floor height. Can I still have underfloor heating?
This is a very common concern in older Essex properties, and we specialise in solving it. Our retrofit UFH systems use a super-thin levelling compound, adding as little as 15-20mm to your floor height. This means you get all the benefits of UFH without compromising your room’s character or creating issues with doors.
What kind of flooring can I put on top of the underfloor heating system?
Most modern floor finishes work well with UFH. Engineered wood, laminate, LVT, tiles, and even certain carpets are all great options. To ensure good conductivity use a thermal screed. As part of our service, we provide expert advice on the best pairings for your chosen system to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Is underfloor heating actually cheaper to run than my radiators?
Yes, it’s significantly more energy efficient. Because UFH spreads gentle heat evenly across a large surface, it can run at much lower temperatures (around 40°C) than radiators (which need to be very hot, ~80°C). This use of energy translates directly into lower heating bills for you over the long term.
Do I have to install it throughout the whole house at once, or can I just do the kitchen extension?
No, we can install underfloor heating in a single room, like a new kitchen or a bathroom renovation, or across the entire property. Our systems are completely scalable to your project’s needs and budget, whether it’s a large new build or a small-scale retrofit.
