Underfloor Heating in Essex

Underfloor heating is a cleaner, smarter way to heat your home. Using radiant heat technology, UFH gently warms the people and objects in the room directly, from the ground up – facilitating a much more energy-efficient method.

If you’re considering floor heating as part of an upcoming home renovation project, we understand you may have questions and concerns about whether this is the right heating solution for you. In this expert guide, we’ll review the pros and cons of underfloor heating, including the many pros:

  • The increased energy-efficiency of UFH

    Customer Feedback

    Claire Lanigan

    Not often compelled to write reviews but these guys were great. Turned up when they said they would and fixed issue within a few days. Plumbers have not been my favourite due to bad experiences but these have restored my faith!

    Karen Brady

    Discovered water cylinder leaking, Nick responded. Kept in touch whilst part ordered then performed valiantly in hot airing cupboard with a rogue valve. Really appreciate his ability and customer care, likewise his support team.

    Underfloor Heating FAQs

    Can I use underfloor heating (UFH) even if I am off the gas grid?

    Yes, underfloor heating is extremely versatile meaning it can be used with a wide range of fuel types. You can pair your UFH with an air source heat pump or a ground source heat pump for a more environmentally-friendly solution. If this isn’t an option, you can also use UFH with oil, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and other off-grid fuel boilers.

    Do I need to dig up my floor to install UFH?

    No. If you are renovating, you don’t need to dig up your floors to install UFH!

    There are various different systems and installation options, including low profile overlay solutions, like our LoPro® range. These are simply installed over existing solid or timber floors. Your choice of tiles or laminate can then be laid directly over the system.

    How do I control my UFH system?

    How you control your UFH depends on the type of system you have. Screed UFH is usually left on with a setback temperature. This helps the concrete slab to act as a thermal store, avoiding long heat up times and keeping running costs low. Retrofit UFH heats up and cools down quickly, so can be controlled more like a radiator system.

    Can my underfloor heating system leak?

    It’s incredibly unlikely that the system will leak.

    Our Fastflo® heating tube is strong and durable, manufactured in line with the highest European Industry Standards. This is covered by a 50 year warranty with the first 10 years being insurance backed, covering complete cost of any remedial works and reinstatement in the very rare event of a manufacturing fault.

    We also design systems so that the tube only ever connects at the manifold – there are no joins under the floor whatsoever – meaning there are no weak points where leaks can occur.

    How much does underfloor heating cost, is it expensive?

    This depends on the size of the property and the most suitable underfloor heating system for the project. Underfloor heating is around 25% more energy efficient than radiators – it can actually save money on your heating bills. For more information, including average prices per m², see how much underfloor heating costs to run.

    What floor coverings can I have with underfloor heating?

    Underfloor heating can be used under most floor coverings, including carpet, tiles, engineered wood, vinyl and laminate flooring. If you’re unsure check the suitability with your flooring supplier.
