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!

Nick and Michaela at The Boilerman Plumbing & Heating were first class! Fast response to our original enquiry and sorted out our boiler straight away. Would have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again if needed!

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
