With decades of experience and a trusted local reputation, we’ll guide you to the best screed system for your project and install it with care and precision.
Water underfloor heating
Water-based underfloor heating systems are one of the most popular choices for new builds and larger renovations. They work by circulating warm water through pipes laid beneath the screed, providing consistent, energy-efficient heat across the entire room.
This system is especially effective in larger spaces or whole-house installations, as it can be connected to traditional boilers or renewable energy sources such as heat pumps. When combined with liquid screed, water underfloor heating delivers excellent performance, with the screed helping transfer and retain heat evenly throughout your home.
Electric underfloor heating
Electric systems use a network of heated cables or mats installed beneath the screed, making them quick and straightforward to fit. They’re often recommended for smaller projects, single rooms, or areas where adding water pipes isn’t practical.
Electric underfloor heating is particularly popular for bathrooms, kitchens and extensions, as it can be installed with minimal disruption and provides rapid, responsive warmth. When paired with the right screed, it offers a smooth, durable base and ensures the system performs efficiently for years to come.
What are the benefits of water underfloor heating?
Water-based underfloor heating is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat your home. By running warm water through pipes embedded in the screed, the system delivers consistent heat across the entire floor area, removing cold spots and reducing reliance on radiators.
It’s particularly well-suited to new builds and large renovation projects, as it integrates seamlessly with modern boilers and renewable energy sources like heat pumps. The result is lower running costs, improved comfort, and a sustainable heating solution designed to last for decades.
What are the benefits of electric underfloor heating?
Electric underfloor heating is quick to install and ideal for smaller projects or single rooms, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or extensions. It uses electric heating mats or cables beneath the screed, providing rapid and responsive warmth exactly where it’s needed.
The main advantage is flexibility – it can be fitted in areas where water-based systems aren’t practical, and it heats up quickly, making it perfect for occasional-use spaces. Combined with the right screed, it ensures a smooth, durable finish while giving you modern comfort with minimal disruption.

What’s the process?
We aim to make the installation of underfloor heating and its screed layer as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here’s how we work, step by step:
1. Consultation & site survey
We begin by visiting your property to talk through your heating goals, layout and construction plans. We assess the subfloor, insulation levels and integration points, and help you decide between water or electric systems. Then we provide a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your project.
2. System design & planning
Once you’re ready, we map out the heating layout and select the appropriate screed system. We plan pipe spacing (for water systems), cable placement (for electric), screed thickness and drying times, all aligned with your home’s needs and building timelines.
3. Preparation & installation
Before installation, we prepare the substrate, cleaning, priming, isolating and applying edge strips to ensure screed bonds properly. Our qualified team then install the heating elements (pipes or cables) and pour the chosen screed. We work methodically to maintain accuracy and minimise disruption.
4. Curing, testing & handover
After pouring, we follow manufacturer guidelines for curing to achieve full strength and heat conduction. Once cured, we test the system under pressure (for water systems) or perform electrical checks (for electric systems), confirm even heating performance, and hand over with advice on how to phase-in, operate and maintain your underfloor heating system.
