Underfloor heating

How underfloor heating is laid

Pipe is clipped in even loops onto insulation boards, then covered by your floor. The whole room warms evenly, with no radiators on the walls.

  • Water-based systems, run from a heat pump or a boiler
  • Works under carpet, vinyl, tiles, stone and wood
  • BPEC qualified and a Polypipe Accredited Installer

How it works

How a heat pump installation works

Every system starts with the numbers, so it is the right size for your home before anything is fitted.

  1. A thermal imaging camera, laser measure and tape measure on a cottage windowsill

    Step 1

    Heat loss survey

    We measure up and carry out a full house heat loss calculation, room by room.

  2. A drawing of a heat pump system, from the outdoor unit to the hot water cylinder and radiators

    Step 2

    System design

    We specify the heat pump, the hot water cylinder and the emitters: underfloor heating, radiators or both.

  3. Gloved hands connecting insulated pipes to an outdoor heat pump at dusk

    Step 3

    Installation

    We fit the outdoor unit, cylinder, pipework and controls, and keep you updated at every stage.

  4. An air source heat pump beside a brick house at dusk, the window lit

    Step 4

    Commissioning

    We commission and test the whole system before we hand it over to you.

Whole-house refurbishment

Dan and his team was responsible for all the plumbing and heating work associated with our major refurbishment project in West Sussex. He installed three new bathrooms and a cloakroom, replaced all the pipework and 16 radiators and installed new cylinders in our Main House as well as replacing the heating and bathrooms in two subsidiary dwellings and 2 new bathrooms and a kitchen in and around our Pool House. The entire project lasted over a year and Dan was a crucial part of the design and execution of the total replacement of the existing heating and plumbing. Dan’s standards are meticulous and his commitment to seeing the job through is absolute…
