Low-Profile & Screed Underfloor Heating Systems 

Tailored Solutions for Renovations, Extensions & New Builds

install both low-profile underfloor heating systems and screed (in-screed) underfloor heating systems across Winchester and surrounding areas - ensuring the right solution for your property type, floor structure and project stage. Choosing the correct system is essential for performance, efficiency and long-term reliability.

Which System Is Right for Your Home?

  • The right underfloor heating system depends on:

  • Your floor construction

  • Available floor height

  • Insulation levels

  • Room size and layout

  • Project stage (new build vs retrofit)

  • Heat source compatibility

 

I carry out heat loss calculations and assess your property carefully to ensure the system is correctly specified, preventing underperformance and maximising efficiency.

Low-Profile Underfloor Heating Systems

Low-profile underfloor heating systems are specifically designed for properties where floor height is limited. These systems use slim panels or castellated boards with smaller pipework, allowing installation over existing subfloors with minimal disruption. 

 

This makes low-profile underfloor heating an excellent solution when replacing radiators in an extension or upgrading a single room without major structural work.

✔ Best suited for:

  • Home renovations

  • Retrofit installations

  • Period properties

  • Projects where floor build-up must be minimal

  • Single-room upgrades (kitchens, extensions, bathrooms)

✔ Benefits of Low-Profile Systems:

  • Minimal increase in floor height

  • Faster installation time

  • Reduced disruption to existing structure

  • Compatible with a range of floor finishes

  • Efficient heat output when properly insulated

Screed (In-Screed) Underfloor Heating Systems

Screed underfloor heating systems involve embedding water pipes within a layer of screed poured over insulation. This creates a solid thermal mass that stores and distributes heat evenly across the entire floor area. 

​

Because the pipes are fully encapsulated within screed, this system delivers consistent warmth and is often considered the most efficient and robust underfloor heating solution.

✔ Best suited for:

  • New build properties

  • Large extensions

  • Whole-house heating systems

  • Open-plan layouts

  • Long-term renovation projects

✔ Benefits of Screed Systems:

  • Excellent heat retention and even distribution

  • Highly energy efficient at low flow temperatures

  • Ideal for pairing with modern condensing boilers

  • Long lifespan and durability

  • Seamless integration during construction phase
