Warmth from the ground up

Underfloor heating creates a natural, even warmth throughout your home. It feels comfortable underfoot, frees up wall space, and can run at lower temperatures than radiators. The result is steady, efficient heating that’s kinder to both energy bills and comfort levels.

Perfect for new builds and retrofits

Whether you’re planning a new home or upgrading an existing one, underfloor heating can work beautifully. New builds integrate it into the floor as the screed’s laid, while retrofit systems sit over existing floors with minimal height increase and disruption.

Tailored control for every room

Each area can be managed independently. That means the living room can stay warm while the bedrooms cool down overnight — saving energy without sacrificing comfort. Smart thermostats make adjustments easy from your phone or a simple wall controller.

Understanding your underfloor heating options

Underfloor heating feels simple once it’s in, but there’s a lot to consider first. These answers cover installation, running costs, and how to choose the right system for your home.

  • 1. Is underfloor heating expensive to run?

    No — water-based systems are highly efficient and often cheaper than traditional radiators over time.

  • 2. Can it be fitted in an existing home?

    Yes. Retrofit systems are designed to sit on top of existing floors with minimal height gain.

  • 3. Will I need to move out during fitting?

    Only if it’s a full ground-floor installation. Smaller areas can be done with little disruption.

  • 4. What type of flooring works best?

    Tile, stone, and vinyl are ideal. 

  • 5. Is it suitable for all properties?

    Most homes can have it, but proper assessment ensures your insulation and layout make it worthwhile.

  • 6. Does it replace radiators completely?

    Usually, yes — but bathrooms or upstairs areas may still use radiators if preferred.

  • 7. Can it work with heat pumps?

    Perfectly. It’s one of the most efficient pairings you can have.

  • 8. How long does it take to install?

    Between two and five days depending on floor size and type of system.

Energy-smart and cost-efficient

Underfloor heating uses water at much lower temperatures than radiators, so your boiler or heat pump works more efficiently. It’s an investment that pays back through lower running costs and more comfort.

The right system for your home

Electric underfloor heating can suit smaller areas like bathrooms or conservatories, but for larger spaces, a water-based system is more efficient and cheaper to run. Each home’s setup is different — and it’s always worth checking what will perform best.

Honest advice before you decide

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some homes need a bit more planning or temporary disruption, but knowing that up front makes the choice easier. It’s about finding what works for your home and your budget — not what’s easiest to sell.

Make your home effortlessly comfortable

Once it’s in, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Quiet, invisible, and efficient — it just delivers warmth exactly where you want it.
