FAQs

What's the difference between wet and electric underfloor heating?

Wet underfloor heating uses warm water circulated through pipes beneath your floor, while electric systems use heating cables or mats. Wet systems typically offer lower running costs and are more suitable for whole-house heating, especially in larger properties. They work well with renewable energy sources and provide excellent heat retention. Electric systems are quicker to install and respond faster to temperature changes, making them ideal for smaller areas or bathrooms. We can assess your property and heating requirements to recommend the most appropriate system for your needs.

Do I need screed milling for wet underfloor heating?

Screed milling is typically required for retrofit wet underfloor heating installations on solid floors where you want to maintain existing floor levels. The process involves removing precise channels in the existing screed to accommodate the heating pipes and create a level surface for the new floor finish. This allows wet underfloor heating installation without significantly raising floor heights, which is important for door clearances and room proportions. For new builds or where floor height isn't a concern, traditional screed methods can be used instead.

Can wet underfloor heating work with my existing boiler?

Most modern boilers can work with wet underfloor heating systems, though some modifications may be required. Wet underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures than traditional radiators, so mixing valves and controls are often needed to reduce the water temperature to the optimal level. We'll assess your existing boiler and heating system to determine compatibility and any necessary modifications. In some cases, upgrading to a more efficient boiler may be beneficial to maximise the performance and efficiency of your new underfloor heating system.

How long does wet underfloor heating installation take?

Installation time depends on the size of the area, type of installation, and existing floor construction. A typical room retrofit with screed milling can take 2-3 days, while spreader joist installations in suspended floors may take 1-2 days per room. New build installations are generally quicker as they're integrated during the construction process. We'll provide a realistic timeline during our site survey, factoring in any preparation work needed and the curing time for screeds before final floor finishes can be applied.
