Milled Underfloor Heating

Fixed furniture locations such as kitchen units and sanitary ware are marked out before installation begins. Pipes are typically positioned 100–150mm away from fixed items.

The manifold is securely installed once the final location has been confirmed.
Typical manifold positioning:
Approximately 1 metre from finished floor level
Top height around 700mm
Adjustments can be made to suit the project requirements.

Our engineers mark out the heating circuits before carrying out the precision floor milling process.
Using advanced dust extraction and HEPA filtration systems, we create precise 16–17mm wide by 20mm deep channels within the screed.
Our milled screed underfloor heating layout uses reverse return or bifilar pipe patterns for optimal heat distribution and system efficiency.

We install premium 16mm multilayer PERT pipe with an oxygen barrier for superior heat transfer and durability.
Benefits include:
Long lifespan
Excellent heat performance
75–100 year manufacturer warranties
No joints or couplings are used within the floor during initial installation.

Once installed, the UFH system is filled, pressure tested, and fully commissioned in accordance with manufacturer and building regulations.

Thermostatic controls and smart heating systems are supplied together with installation schematics and operating instructions.
Each manifold loop is clearly labelled for easy identification.

Following installation, the system is balanced and commissioned to maximise efficiency and heating performance.
This includes:

• Thermostat calibration
• Flow rate adjustments
• Temperature setup
• Heating optimisation

Heat is introduced gradually to protect the screed and floor finishes.

A liquid levelling screed is essential before fitting carpet over the UFH system.
For efficient heat transfer:
Carpet TOG rating should not exceed 2.5 TOG

Although engineered wood can technically be installed without a levelling screed, we strongly recommend one for long-term stability and improved performance.
We also recommend installing temperature sensors, as engineered wood typically has a maximum temperature tolerance of 27°C.

For tiled floors, a decoupling membrane should be installed to accommodate thermal expansion and movement.
This helps protect tiled surfaces from stress and cracking.

LVT flooring requires:
Liquid levelling screed
High-temperature adhesive
Temperature sensors
This protects the flooring finish and ensures compliance with manufacturer recommendations.

No. Our specialist floor milling technology allows us to install the UFH system directly into your existing screed floor, eliminating the need for expensive floor removal or overlay systems.

No. Our retrofit underfloor heating installations are quick, efficient, and virtually dust free.
There is typically no need to remove:

• Skirting boards
• Doors
• Architraves

Most projects are completed within a single day.

Yes. Our systems are suitable for:

• Residential homes
• Renovations and extensions
• Apartments and flats
• Commercial buildings
• Offices and retail spaces
• Hotels and restaurants
• Heritage and listed properties

Your floor generally requires:

• Minimum screed depth of 35mm
• Good structural condition

Our team can assess suitability and advise on any repairs if required.

Yes. Our retrofit underfloor heating systems are designed to provide complete room heating, allowing traditional radiators to be removed entirely.

Yes. Milled screed underfloor heating systems work exceptionally well with:

• Air source heat pumps
• Ground source heat pumps

This combination delivers excellent energy efficiency and lower running costs.

Water-based retrofit underfloor heating systems are significantly more cost-effective for whole-home heating compared to electric systems.

They provide:

• Lower running costs
• Better efficiency
• Greater heating output
• Whole-property heating capability

Compatible floor finishes include:

• Tiles and stone
• Carpet and carpet tiles
• Engineered wood and laminates
• Vinyl flooring and LVT
• Resin floors
• Microcement finishes

For temperature-sensitive flooring, we recommend floor probes and temperature sensors.

Our floor milling process cuts precision channels into the screed where heating pipes are installed close to the floor surface.

This creates:

• Fast heat response times
• Even heat distribution
• Excellent efficiency
• Zero floor build-up

No. Our pipe layouts are designed using balanced heating patterns to ensure even warmth across the entire floor area.

Unlike radiators, which rely on high water temperatures and uneven convection heat, underfloor heating systems provide:

• Lower operating temperatures
• Better energy efficiency
• Improved comfort
• More consistent room temperatures

Yes. Our milled screed underfloor heating systems can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional radiator systems while maintaining exceptional comfort levels.

We offer a wide range of heating controls including:

• Digital thermostats
• Smart app-controlled systems
• Multi-zone heating controls

This allows full control of your heating from smartphones or tablets.

Our systems are manufactured using premium components and are backed by comprehensive warranties.

If assistance is ever required, our technical support and aftercare team are available to provide expert help and troubleshooting support.
