Underfloor heating, designed properly
Wet (warm-water) and electric underfloor heating across Yorkshire. Bathrooms, kitchens, extensions and full retrofits, designed and fitted by Gas Safe heating engineers. Fixed price after a survey, no salesman.
The right system for the room
Underfloor heating isn’t one thing. Electric mat under tile is cheap, fast and brilliant for a bathroom or kitchen retrofit where you’re tiling anyway. Wet (warm-water) systems cost more to fit but a fraction to run, and shine when you’re heating a whole room continuously or pairing them with a heat pump for the long-run economics. We don’t push one over the other; we survey the room, the floor build-up, the boiler or heat pump you’ve got, and quote the option that actually makes sense for your house.
Retrofitting without ripping up the floor
The biggest myth about underfloor heating is that you have to dig up the floor. For most retrofits you don’t. Low-profile pipe systems lay over the existing subfloor and only add 15 to 20 mm of build-up, often less than the new floor finish you were going to put down anyway. Electric mat under tile adds about 3 to 5 mm. A full screed pour is only really needed on a new extension or a complete renovation where the floor’s coming up anyway. We’ll quote what’s possible at your property after a real survey, not a guess.
Pair it with the right boiler or heat pump
Wet underfloor wants a low flow temperature, around 35 to 45°C, versus the 65 to 75°C a radiator system runs at. That makes underfloor heating a natural match for an air source heat pump (and a good way to apply the BUS grant), and still works well with a modern condensing boiler via a mixer manifold so the rest of your radiator system can keep its existing flow. We design the manifold and controls so the underfloor circuit gets exactly what it wants and the boiler still works hard for the radiators upstairs.

Questions
Things people ask. The honest answers.
Wet or electric, which one should I get?
Wet (warm-water) underfloor heating is cheaper to run, better for whole-room or whole-house heating, and ideal for new builds or refurbs where the floor is being lifted. Electric mat is faster and cheaper to fit, perfect for a single room like a bathroom or kitchen retrofit. We talk you through both at survey, with real running-cost numbers for your property.
Can I retrofit underfloor heating without lifting the whole floor?
In most rooms, yes. Low-profile pipe systems can lay over the existing floor and only add 15-20 mm. Electric mat under tile is even thinner. A full screed retrofit means lifting the floor and is usually only worth it on a big refurb. We survey first and quote both options with the cost trade-off clear.
Does underfloor heating work with my boiler or do I need a heat pump?
Wet underfloor heating runs at a lower flow temperature than radiators (typically 35-45°C vs 65-75°C), so it pairs beautifully with a heat pump but works perfectly well with a modern condensing boiler too. We design the manifold and mixer to drop the flow temperature for the underfloor circuit only, so the rest of the house keeps its existing radiators if you want.
How much does underfloor heating cost?
Electric mat under tile in a bathroom is typically £700-1,200 fitted including the new thermostat. A wet underfloor circuit in a kitchen extension is typically £1,800-3,000 fitted including the manifold connection. A full-house wet retrofit on a renovation is £6,000-12,000 depending on size and access. We give a fixed written price after a survey.
How long does it take to install?
A single-room electric mat is a one-to-two-day fit including the new thermostat wiring. A wet underfloor circuit in a single room is two-to-three days. A whole-floor or whole-house retrofit can run one to two weeks depending on whether the screed is going down or it's a low-profile board layout. We confirm timescales in the quote.
