Wet underfloor heating systems that suit the property

Underfloor heating needs planning before a floor goes down. We look at the room, the floor build-up available, the heat source and how the space will be used, then set out a system that actually works for that room rather than a generic package.

Water-based systems, properly planned

Wet underfloor heating uses warm water circulated through pipework beneath the floor, connected to your boiler or heat source. Done properly it gives even, low-temperature heat across a room; done badly it leaves cold spots and a floor that takes hours to warm up. The pipe spacing, screed depth and manifold design are what make the difference.

New rooms, renovations and larger projects

Underfloor heating often forms part of an extension, renovation or a room being rebuilt. Bring us in early if you can — it is far easier to plan pipework, manifolds and controls before other trades close the floor up than to retrofit around finished work.

Comfort without guesswork

We talk through the areas to be heated, the floor finish (tile, wood, carpet all behave differently), the existing heating system and whether the room will be a single zone or split into several. You get a clear picture of the work rather than a generic package quote.

Every home is different, so give us a call on 01723 800128 or send us a message and we'll talk you through the options.
