Underfloor Heating in Basildon

Underfloor heating in Basildon usually goes into a kitchen extension or a ground-floor refit, connected to the gas boiler that 76% of the Basildon area homes already have. We are about 10 minutes from Basildon. The hard water here, about 263 ppm, does not reach the sealed floor loops but does reach the boiler, so we plan scale protection at the same time.

Wet underfloor heating runs warm water from your boiler through pipe loops under the floor, turning the whole floor into a low-temperature radiator. It suits kitchens, extensions, bathrooms and open-plan ground floors where wall space is short, and it works with a gas combi or system boiler through a mixing valve and manifold.

We design the pipe loops for each room from its heat loss, install the manifold, pump and mixing valve, lay the pipe in screed, on an overlay board or between joists depending on the floor, pressure test it before the floor goes down, connect it to the boiler and commission and balance each loop. Room thermostats and zone controls let you run it separately from the radiators upstairs.

We have installed underfloor heating across Essex alongside the boilers and radiators it connects to, so the whole system is designed by one firm. Gas Safe registered (925538), family run, and quoted after a free survey.
