Underfloor Heating Systems for New Build Projects
Every new build has different structural and thermal requirements. For that reason, underfloor heating systems are specified based on floor construction, insulation levels, and build programme.
Screeded Tacker (Staple) System
Best for: Concrete slabs, extensions, large open-plan areas.
A high-efficiency wet underfloor heating system where pipes are stapled directly to insulation before being encapsulated in flowing screed. This is the most common system used in new builds due to its excellent heat output, durability, and compatibility with modern heating sources such as heat pumps.
Castellated Tray System
Best for: New builds requiring precise pipe spacing and fast installation
Pre-formed insulation trays securely hold heating pipes in place before screeding. This system allows for highly consistent pipe layouts and efficient installation, making it ideal for projects with tight programmes or detailed heat-loss calculations.
Between-Joists System (Suspended Floors)
Best for: Timber joist floors and upper levels
Designed for suspended timber floors, this system fits heating pipes between joists and uses a dry or thin screed build-up to bring the floor to finished level. It delivers effective heat distribution without excessive floor height increase.
Routed Chipboard System
Best for: New builds requiring a dry, low-profile floor build-up
Designed around pre-routed structural chipboard panels, this system allows heating pipes to sit within the floor structure itself. It removes the need for wet screed, reduces floor weight, and supports faster build schedules while maintaining responsive, even heat output.

Try It Out For YourselfTaking it to the next level.. Alan, Gordon and team did an amazing job on our rural renovation. 250+m2 of insulation, UFH pipes and screed all laid in a week. Made a hard job look easy and had attention to detail from start to finish. Thank you!
Gordon and Alan provided a fantastic and professional service to get our old cottage feeling warm again. Offered great advice and tips to keep us within our budget and were on hand to help whenever we needed it. Would highly recommend if you're needing any screeding or UFH installed. Thanks again guys!
Next level underfloor heating. Alan and Gordon do what only the best in their field can do. Make a hard job look easy. These guys are fast, efficient, professional and excellent at there trade. I work in the concrete industry and I have seen lots of trades tackle this type of work. I have yet to see any as good as this pair for preparing and executing a first floor underfloor heating installation and screed. I will definitely recommend Next Level Underfloor Heating and I will actively give them any of my screed enquiries I get. Well done lads and good luck. Kenny Hampton Forth valley concrete.
I can highly recommend Next Level. They have recently completed underfloor heating in my kitchen and downstairs toilet in my house I am renovating. Professional and super efficient the work has been carried out to the highest standards. So happy with the completed works !
Alan and Gordon are excellent. Very professional, friendly and keen to help on your project. The screed was installed very professionally and the finish is fantastic. I would highly recommend Next Level Underfloor Heating & Screed Solutions and wouldn't go elsewhere for a screed in the future.
Alan and Gordon were recommended by the screed manufacturer that was specified for our extension project. They completed a 40m2 area with 12m of flush door thresholds + UFH and manifold installation. The team were great to deal with and very professional from the initial enquiry to completion of the project. The team provided recommendations and technical advice throughout the quotation stage and were the only contractor to actually visit and survey the site prior to finalising the quote. During the works, the Alan and Gordon were brilliant, taking time and effort to run through the plan for the works and made sure all protection was in place. Our requirements were quite demanding with respect to flush thresholds and floor finishes being applied directly to the screed. The end product is brilliant, exceeding our expectations. We were always worried about the screeding and potential mess / damage to large areas of floor to ceiling glazing , but this was not an issue with Alan and Gordon. Everything was protected and the place was spotless when the job was complete. Of the several trades used during our renovation and extension project, the team at Next Level have been without a doubt the best and would highly recommend them. First class work and really nice guys. Looking forward to having the team back in the near future for some further screeding works.
Very knowledgeable and professional engineer. Called a few weeks ago when i was stuck at an underfloor heating job and next level helped me out over the phone step by step even. Definitely recommend!
Alan and Gordon were fantastic right from the initial enquiry. Helpful, knowledgeable, patient, flexible, highly skilled and so much more. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the job and we are absolutely delighted with the…
I found Gordon and Alan's company nextlevelufhs.co.uk via Google searching for 'Floor Leveling' and could not have got a better company to level my floors. Having watched some YouTube videos and then seeing Gordon and Alan setting up their laser and depth measuring equipment I knew I was getting very experienced professional tradesmen. My floor surfaces had been removed from the original concrete base prior to contacting them for a survey. This had left chisel gouges like the surface of the moon. The original concrete base was uneven with dips and highs. When the work was finished the floors were as flat as pancakes and level from front to back. A most desirable outcome. Reducing my stress during this time was greatly appreciated because of their helpful communication prior to and during the work. If you want the best then look no further than Gordon and Alan's company NextLevelUfhs.co.uk John Keggie https://www.nextlevelufhs.co.uk.co.uk/
Delighted with the professionalism & attention to detail from Alan & Gordon in preparing & laying the concrete for our UF heating project. Would highly recommend. Steve & Alison Ballantyne
Next Level recently installed 100m2 insulation and under floor heating for us in our holiday cottage. I have worked in the building industry for many years and I have found both Alan & Gordon to be thoroughly efficient and produced a first class installation from start to finish. In my day we would have described them as proper tradesmen with a real old fashioned work ethic. Normally I would worry about recommending people incase they didn’t live up to expectations but with Next Level under the stewardship of both Alan & Gordon I would have no such concerns. Gladly recommend them and their company.
If you want a professional floor insulation, underfloor heating, and screed job done brilliantly at a cost-effective price you cannot get better than Alan and Gordan. We have struggled with our self-build, emailing, and calling companies no one bothers to call or acknowledge your emails. I called Alan on a Saturday morning; Alan and Gordan surveyed our site despite it being over 1 hours drive away from them and got back with a quote quickly. They completed our job last week, if everyone worked this way our experience in renovation would be a positive exciting adventure. Alan and co are very knowledgeable, they took time to get everything just so. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much next level. You are next level!
Screed and underfloor heating can be a daunting thing but Alan & Gordon are top class. Explained everything clearly and knew the answer to every question instantly making the process stress free. The original floor was in terrible shape, I wasn’t sure we could even screed it. But with the skill and knowledge of Alan & Gordon they left the house perfectly level.
Alan, and the team, are absolutely fantastic. They removed a system that had been poorly fitted, and replaced it with a brand new water system. Conscientious, honest, tidy, and came to my rescue when my flooring guy put a nail through the system 🙄. Next level are one of the few great trades-teams, out there.
Couldn't be happier with the quality of work and the service provided on my new build. This company is easy to deal with, friendly and knowledgeable. First class work.
Very flexible and helpful in what was a relatively small domestic job. Worked well with us to manage the technical interface between their own scope and our central heating installation company. Tidy, reliable, turned up when they said etc. Would have no hesitation to use again or to recommend to someone. Thanks.
We chose Gordon and his team to do our floor insulation, underfloor heating and Screed. To say they did a great job would be an understatement! Gordon and Ryan arrived first thing on the morning of the install and started their craft right away. These guys were true professionals from start to finish. We have a lot to do for the home renovation still, but this piece of the puzzle was a very important one (so we could continue on with stairs and all other fixings on the ground floor). I highly recommend Next Level UFHS if you’re looking for the absolute best job in all of Scotland!!
Absolutely first class installation from Gordon and the team at Next Level. From the start and throughout, the service was excellent. Queries were answered almost immediately and nothing was too much trouble. On site, the guys were super-efficient, friendly and professional – and even finished ahead of the expected timeframe. Since then, our other builders have all commented on the level of work – respect indeed! We can't recommend Next Level highly enough and our thanks once again for a superb job.
Excellent Service. Gordon and his colleagues, were very easy to communicate with and understood my needs and requirements precisely. All the work was carried out promptly on schedule to a very high standard on what I believe to have been very difficult surface to work with. Highly recommend there service and expertise.
We had Next Level UFH and Screed Solutions come and give us a quote for UFH and screed. Comunications were excellent and the quote was very competative so we decided to proceed with the installation in October of this year. It will be easier to rate them as follows:- 1- Workmanship and work ethic-Exceptional 2-Speed of installation-Exceptional 3-Communication skills-Exceptional It is a rare thing these days to find such a company that takes ALL of the stress away from the customer and puts your mind at ease. Our second fix joiners and electricians were very impressed especially with the work ethic, speed and quality of workmanship. We would not hesitate to recommend Gordon and the guys to anyone who wants UFH installed.
Next Level recently installed underfloor heating pipes and screed to our self-build. After a number of frustrating and unsatisfactory dealings with other trades people, it was such a pleasure to deal with a professional, efficient and friendly company. Alan and his team delivered on their promises from start to finish. They turned up when they said they would, did a first-class job laying both the pipes and the screed, and communicated well with us before, during and after the job was completed. It was clear to see that all of the team take huge pride in their work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. Very competitively priced too!

We have worked with Alan & Gordon in the early days of their business getting started. Over the last 2 years we have worked with them on some fantastic jobs. This varying from commercial to residential properties. They have both been an absolute pleasure to work with. We are never hesitant to pass on their details to our customers as we believe they offer a 5* service. Their knowledge and capability is next to none. Thank you for using us and show casing the material we supply to such a high standard.
Absolutely excellent service from Alan, Gordon and Ryan, right from initial visit and advice. They prepped the pre-insulated 180sqm floor over multiple rooms and fitted all the heating pipe and manifold in two days. They pumped in the Cemfloor screed on third morning and it was all done in under three hours. Amazingly neat job, super flat finish, hard enough to walk on after 24hrs (despite being mid February and quite cold). Highly recommended and stress free!
Thanks to Gordon and the team for a great job installing the pipe work for our underfloor heating, neat and tidy job done on time with no issues. Gordon kept me well informed of the work taking place and asked me any relevant questions before doing anything. I would highly recommend. Thanks Donald

Most common questions we get from our clients that want underfloor heating and floor screed installed in a new build.
