Floor Screeding
Our floor screeding service creates smooth, durable surfaces for residential and commercial properties. Using laser-guided technology, we ensure precise levels and consistent finishes. Available in traditional sand/cement or fast-drying liquid formulations, our screeds provide optimal thermal conductivity for underfloor heating systems. Projects range from small home extensions to large multi-floor developments, with tailored solutions for both new builds and renovations.
Underfloor Heating
We design and install energy-efficient underfloor heating systems for new constructions and retrofit projects. Our wet systems integrate seamlessly with screed layers, maximising heat transfer efficiency. Specialising in low-profile solutions for height-restricted spaces, we handle complete installations including insulation, pipework, and manifold setup. Systems are compatible with various flooring types and heat sources, including renewable energy options like ground source heat pumps.
Concrete Pumping
Our concrete pumping service delivers precise, efficient installations for domestic and industrial projects. Using specialist equipment, we place concrete quickly and accurately even in challenging access areas. The process reduces manual labour requirements by up to 60% while ensuring smooth, level finishes. Suitable for foundations, flooring, and structural applications, with capacity to handle projects from 5m to large-scale commercial pours.
Thin Section Screed
Designed for property upgrades with minimal height restrictions, our thin section screeds enable underfloor heating installation without major structural modifications. These high-strength, rapid-drying screeds achieve optimal thermal performance in just 12-25mm depth. Ideal for residential renovations and commercial retrofits, the system allows quick return to use while maintaining structural integrity and energy efficiency.

Questions
What underfloor heating systems do you install?
We specialise in wet underfloor heating systems integrated with screed layers. Our low-profile solutions work in height-restricted spaces while standard systems suit new builds. All installations include insulation, slip membranes, and pressure-tested pipework connected to your existing heating system.
How long does screed take to dry?
Drying times depend on screed depth and formulation. A 50mm standard screed typically requires 28 days to reach 2.5% CM moisture content for tiling. We offer fast-drying alternatives that reduce this period by up to 40% while maintaining structural integrity and thermal performance.
Can you work on listed buildings?
Yes, our thin section screeds are ideal for heritage properties with height restrictions. We've successfully completed installations in conservation areas across Yorkshire, using techniques that preserve original features while upgrading thermal efficiency through discreet underfloor heating systems.
Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?
We work across both sectors, from single-room renovations to multi-floor commercial developments. Our equipment scales to handle projects of all sizes, with dedicated teams for domestic installations and larger crews for industrial-scale screeding and concrete pumping requirements.
What guarantees do you offer?
We provide 12-month workmanship warranties on all installations. Our materials carry manufacturer guarantees, and we maintain full insurance coverage. Our process includes final inspections to ensure complete satisfaction before project completion and invoicing.
