Our Underfloor Heating Installation Process

Installing underfloor heating requires precision planning to ensure long-term reliability and efficiency.

1. System Design and Suitability

We begin by assessing your subfloor and floor finish (such as tile, laminate, or stone). We calculate the heat loss of the room to determine the correct pipe spacing and manifold location for your central heating installation.

2. Professional Pipe or Element Laying

For wet systems, we install high-quality barrier pipes in a continuous loop to eliminate the risk of underground leaks. For electric systems, we ensure even distribution of heating mats. We pay close attention to insulation to ensure heat travels upwards into the room rather than into the ground.

3. Manifold and Control Setup

The manifold is the “brain” of a wet system. Our certified heating engineers install and wire the manifold, mixing valves, and smart thermostats, allowing you to control the temperature of every room individually.

4. Pressure Testing and Commissioning

Before your floor finish is laid, we perform a rigorous pressure test to ensure the system is completely watertight. Once the floor is complete, we commission the system, balancing the flow rates to ensure optimal heating system maintenance and performance.

The Benefits of Underfloor Heating

Switching from traditional radiators to underfloor heating offers several significant advantages:

Superior Comfort: No more cold feet or draughts; the heat is distributed evenly from the ground up.
Design Freedom: By removing radiators, you gain valuable wall space for furniture and a cleaner aesthetic.
Energy Savings: UFH can run at lower temperatures than radiators, which helps your boiler operate more efficiently and reduces gas consumption.
Hygienic Environment: Reduced air movement means less dust and allergens are circulated, which is beneficial for those with allergies.
