class=\"kws-section-title\">Project Overview<\/h2>\r\n    <p>\r\n      This project shows a <strong>water underfloor heating and screed installation<\/strong> carried out inside a property undergoing wider building and finishing work. The red heating pipework was laid across the floor area before the screed was applied to cover the system and create a level base for the final floor finish.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      Wet underfloor heating is often chosen for extensions, open-plan kitchens and full refurbishments because it spreads warmth from the floor instead of relying on wall-mounted radiators. This can help create a cleaner layout, more usable wall space and a comfortable heat across larger rooms.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      The quality of the screed stage matters because it protects the pipework, supports even heat transfer and prepares the floor for tiles, laminate, engineered wood or another suitable floor covering. The floor build-up, insulation, edge expansion strip, pipe spacing, pressure testing and drying time all need to be planned correctly.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-highlight\">\r\n      <strong>KWS Builders approach:<\/strong> plan the underfloor heating and screed as one coordinated floor system, not as separate tasks. This helps reduce avoidable problems with levels, heat output, cracking, drying time and final floor finishes.\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/section>\r\n\r\n  <section class=\"kws-table-card\">\r\n    <h2 class=\"kws-section-title\">Quick Service Summary<\/h2>\r\n    <p class=\"kws-section-intro\">\r\n      A simple breakdown of the main service and the key areas KWS Builders considers during a wet underfloor heating and screed project.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-table-wrap kws-mobile-card-wrap\">\r\n      <table class=\"kws-table kws-mobile-card-table\">\r\n        <thead>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <th>Project Detail<\/th>\r\n            <th>Information<\/th>\r\n            <th>Why It Matters<\/th>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n        <\/thead>\r\n        <tbody>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Project Detail\"><strong>Main Service<\/strong><\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Information\">Water underfloor heating and screed<\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Why It Matters\">Combines the heating pipework and floor screed stage into one planned floor build-up.<\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Project Detail\"><strong>System Type<\/strong><\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Information\">Wet underfloor heating pipe system<\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Why It Matters\">Warm water runs through pipework under the floor, creating a more even heat pattern.<\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Project Detail\"><strong>Floor Stage<\/strong><\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Information\">Screed applied over the heating pipework<\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Why It Matters\">Screed covers the pipes, supports heat transfer and creates a level surface for the final floor finish.<\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Project Detail\"><strong>Suitable Projects<\/strong><\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Information\">Extensions, open-plan kitchens, refurbishments and ground floor upgrades<\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Why It Matters\">These projects already involve floor works, making it easier to plan insulation, levels and heating zones.<\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Project Detail\"><strong>Planning Focus<\/strong><\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Information\">Insulation, DPM, pipe layout, pressure testing, screed depth and drying time<\/td>\r\n            <td data-label=\"Why It Matters\">These details affect comfort, durability, efficiency and the success of the final flooring.<\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n        <\/tbody>\r\n      <\/table>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/section>\r\n\r\n  <section class=\"kws-image-card\" id=\"images\">\r\n    <h2 class=\"kws-section-title\">Interactive Underfloor Heating & Screed Gallery<\/h2>\r\n    <p class=\"kws-section-intro\">\r\n      The gallery is sorted by project stage.

also known as wet underfloor heating, uses warm water running through pipes installed within the floor build-up. Instead of heat coming mainly from radiators, the floor becomes the heat emitter and spreads warmth more evenly across the room.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      The <strong>screed<\/strong> is the floor layer installed over the pipework. It protects the pipes, helps distribute heat and creates the level base needed before the final floor finish is installed. The screed stage must be treated carefully because poor preparation can lead to cracking, uneven floors, slow drying or flooring problems later.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-two-col\">\r\n

Wet underfloor heating is commonly suited to extensions and major renovations because the floor build-up, insulation and screed can be planned while the floor is already being constructed or replaced.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-faq-item\">\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-q\">Why is screed needed over underfloor heating pipes?<\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-a\">\r\n        Screed covers and protects the pipework, helps distribute heat across the floor and creates a level surface ready for the final floor finish after the required curing and preparation period.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-faq-item\">\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-q\">Do I need Building Regulations approval for wet underfloor heating?<\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-a\">\r\n        Wet underfloor heating may need to comply with Part L energy efficiency requirements and may require building control approval, especially as part of an extension, renovation or wider heating upgrade. This should be checked before work starts.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-faq-item\">\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-q\">Can tiles, laminate or wood be used over underfloor heating?<\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-a\">\r\n        Many floor coverings can work with underfloor heating if they are suitable for heat transfer and installed according to the manufacturer\u2019s guidance. Tiles and stone usually transfer heat well, while engineered wood, laminate, vinyl and carpet need careful product checks.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-faq-item\">\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-q\">How do I get a water underfloor heating and screed quote from KWS Builders?<\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"kws-faq-a\">\r\n        You can request a free quote by sharing your property location, room sizes, project stage, whether the floor is new or existing, the final flooring type and any drawings or photos available.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"kws-btn-row\">\r\n      <a class=\"kws-btn kws-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/kwsbuilder.co.uk\/index.php\/get-a-free-quote\/\">\u2714 Get My Free Quote<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"kws-lightbox\" data-kws-lightbox>\r\n  <div class=\"kws-lightbox-inner\">\r\n    <button class=\"kws-lightbox-close\" type=\"button\" data-kws-lightbox-close aria-label=\"Close image gallery\">\u00d7<\/button>\r\n    <button class=\"kws-lightbox-prev\" type=\"button\" data-kws-lightbox-prev aria-label=\"Previous image\">\u2039<\/button>\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"kws-lightbox-img\" data-kws-lightbox-img src=\"\" alt=\"\">\r\n    <button class=\"kws-lightbox-next\" type=\"button\" data-kws-lightbox-next aria-label=\"Next image\">\u203a<\/button>\r\n    <div class=\"kws-lightbox-caption\" data-kws-lightbox-caption><\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<script>\r\n  document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(){\r\n    var gallery = document.querySelector(\"[data-kws-gallery]\");\r\n    var lightbox = document.querySelector(\"[data-kws-lightbox]\");\r\n\r\n    if(!gallery || !lightbox){ return;
