Underfloor heating installation

Usually yes. Where floor height is tight we use low profile overlay systems that add very little to the finished level, and on suspended timber floors we install between the joists. We look at the floor construction, the insulation and the door thresholds before recommending an approach.

It is the best possible match. Underfloor heating covers a huge surface area, so it warms the room at a low flow temperature, and the lower the flow temperature the more efficiently a heat pump runs. If you are thinking about a heat pump now or in the future, underfloor heating is the sensible choice.

Yes. Kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and open plan living spaces are the most common single room installations. We can run it off your existing boiler or heat pump with its own manifold and controls.

Tile and stone are ideal because they conduct heat well. Engineered wood, vinyl and even carpet work provided the total floor covering resistance is within the manufacturer limits. Tell us what you plan to lay and we will design the system around it rather than discovering the problem afterwards.

It responds more gently, which is the point. Rather than blasting heat and switching off, underfloor heating holds the room at a steady temperature, which feels more comfortable and suits the way modern heating controls and heat pumps work. Good controls handle the rest.

Very little. The pipework in the floor has no moving parts and a long service life. What benefits from attention is the manifold, the pump, the actuators and the system water quality, all of which we check as part of a normal heating service.

Properly installed circuits are laid in continuous lengths with no joints buried in the screed, and every circuit is pressure tested before and after the screed. That is why buried leaks are rare. If there is ever a problem we have thermal imaging equipment to find it without digging up the whole floor.

Yes, and the earlier the better. If we are involved at design stage we can coordinate insulation, screed depths, manifold positions and thresholds with the build programme instead of working around decisions that have already been made.

Yes, and a large part of our work is commercial. We hold the accreditations needed to design, install and certify commercial heating, hot water and gas plant, and we have completed projects in schools and churches as well as offices, restaurants, care homes, hospitals, apartment blocks and multi occupancy buildings. We are used to working in occupied buildings and will plan the work around term times, services and opening hours.
