Underfloor Heating

Expert Underfloor Heating Installation Across West London

Underfloor heating transforms how you heat your home, providing luxurious, even warmth without radiators taking up valuable wall space. At Plumbing Correct, we specialise in underfloor heating installation across West London, designing and installing systems that deliver superior comfort, energy efficiency, and modern heating solutions for new builds, extensions, and renovations.

Why Choose Underfloor Heating

Superior Comfort and Efficiency

Underfloor heating provides consistent warmth across entire floor surfaces, eliminating cold spots and creating comfortable living spaces. Heat rises naturally and evenly, warming the room from the ground up rather than creating hot and cold zones like traditional radiators.

The system operates at lower temperatures than radiators whilst delivering the same level of comfort, making it more energy-efficient and cheaper to run. This efficiency is particularly beneficial when combined with modern condensing boilers or heat pumps, maximising your heating system's performance.

Space and Design Freedom

Without radiators on your walls, you gain complete freedom in furniture placement and interior design. This is especially valuable in modern open-plan living spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms where wall space is precious. Clean, uncluttered walls create more spacious, flexible rooms.

Types of Underfloor Heating

Water-Based (Wet) Underfloor Heating

Water-based systems circulate warm water through pipes installed beneath your floor, connected to your central heating system. These systems are ideal for new builds, extensions, and major renovations where floors are being installed or replaced.

Wet systems provide excellent efficiency and running costs, particularly in larger areas and whole-house installations. They work beautifully with modern condensing boilers and are perfect for heat pump systems. We design pipe layouts to ensure even heat distribution across all floor areas.

Electric Underfloor Heating

Electric systems use heating cables or mats installed beneath floor finishes, powered by your electrical supply. These systems are perfect for smaller areas, single rooms, or retrofitting where accessing existing heating systems is difficult.

Electric underfloor heating is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories, and small extensions. Installation is generally quicker and less disruptive than wet systems, and they're perfect for spot heating in specific rooms rather than whole-house heating.

Where Underfloor Heating Works Best

Perfect for Bathrooms

Underfloor heating is exceptionally popular in bathrooms, eliminating cold floors and creating spa-like comfort. The system works efficiently with tiled floors, which conduct heat beautifully, and provides gentle, even warmth throughout the space.

Ideal for Kitchen and Living Areas

Open-plan kitchens and living spaces benefit enormously from underfloor heating. Large floor areas heat evenly without radiators interrupting sight lines or limiting furniture placement. Tiled, stone, and wooden floors all work excellently with underfloor heating.

Extensions and Conservatories

Extensions and conservatories are perfect candidates for underfloor heating installation. The system provides efficient heating without taking up valuable space, and it's easily incorporated during construction when floors are being laid.

Our Installation Process

Design and Planning

Every successful underfloor heating installation begins with careful planning. We assess your property, discuss your heating requirements, and design a system that delivers optimal warmth efficiently. For wet systems, we calculate pipe spacing and layout to ensure even heat distribution. For electric systems, we specify appropriate heating mats or cables for your floor area and usage.

Professional Installation

Our experienced engineers install underfloor heating to the highest standards, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance. For wet systems, we install manifolds, lay pipework according to our design, pressure test thoroughly, and connect to your heating system. For electric systems, we install heating elements carefully, position thermostats correctly, and test comprehensively before covering.

Floor Finish Compatibility

Underfloor heating works with various floor finishes including tiles, stone, engineered wood, laminate, and carpet (with appropriate underlay). We advise on the best flooring choices for your system and ensure proper installation that maximises heat transfer.

‍

Controls and Thermostats

Intelligent Temperature Control

Modern underfloor heating systems include sophisticated controls that allow room-by-room temperature management. Programmable thermostats let you set different temperatures for different times, maximising comfort whilst minimising running costs.

We install and program controls that integrate seamlessly with your system, including smart thermostats that you can control remotely via smartphone. Zone control allows different areas of your home to operate independently, providing heating only where and when needed.

‍

Energy Efficiency Benefits

Lower Running Costs

Underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures than traditional radiators (typically 35-45°C versus 60-75°C for radiators), making systems more efficient. Combined with modern condensing boilers or heat pumps, this efficiency translates directly into lower energy bills.

The even heat distribution means rooms feel comfortable at slightly lower overall temperatures, further reducing energy consumption. Many homeowners see significant savings compared to traditional heating systems.

Ideal for Renewable Energy

Underfloor heating's low operating temperature makes it perfect for renewable heating technologies like air source and ground source heat pumps. These systems operate most efficiently at lower temperatures, making underfloor heating the ideal heat emitter for environmentally conscious heating solutions.

‍

Underfloor Heating Maintenance

Minimal Maintenance Required

Once installed, underfloor heating requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional radiator systems. There are no radiators to bleed, no visible pipes to maintain, and systems typically run trouble-free for many years.

For wet systems, we recommend occasional system checks to ensure optimal performance. Electric systems are virtually maintenance-free once installed. If issues do arise, our engineers diagnose and repair all types of underfloor heating systems efficiently.

‍

Retrofit Underfloor Heating

Adding to Existing Properties

While underfloor heating is easiest to install during new builds or major renovations, retrofit solutions exist for existing properties. Low-profile systems minimize floor height increases, and electric systems offer practical solutions for single rooms or smaller areas without major construction work.

We assess your property and recommend the most practical approach for adding underfloor heating to existing spaces, considering floor construction, ceiling heights, and your heating requirements.

Combining with Existing Heating

Hybrid Heating Systems

Underfloor heating can work alongside existing radiators in hybrid systems. You might install underfloor heating in ground floor living areas whilst retaining radiators upstairs, giving you the best of both systems.

We design and install hybrid systems that work together efficiently, ensuring proper controls and optimal performance from both heating types.

Quality Installation Guaranteed

All our underfloor heating installations are completed to the highest standards with thorough testing and commissioning. We use quality materials from trusted manufacturers, install precisely according to design specifications, and provide comprehensive guarantees on our workmanship.

Our engineers are experienced in both wet and electric underfloor heating systems, ensuring expert installation regardless of which system suits your property. We explain system operation clearly and provide guidance on using your new heating system efficiently.
