Underfloor Heating

We specialise in the design, supply, and installation of water-based underfloor heating systems, providing high-quality heating solutions accompanying a Floor Screeding package for both domestic and commercial construction projects in Bristol and the South West. .

With over 18 years of industry experience, we deliver expertly installed underfloor heating systems to the highest standards, ensuring every installation is completed efficiently, pressure tested, and ready for Screeding stage of the build programme.

Every project is different, which is why we offer a fully tailored service, working closely with our clients to design and install the most suitable underfloor heating system for their exact requirements, delivering comfort, efficiency, and reliable performance from start to finish.

Water flow underfloor heating systems provide an efficient, comfortable, and energy-saving way to heat residential and commercial spaces. By circulating warm water through a network of pipes beneath the floor surface, these systems deliver even heat distribution across the entire room, eliminating cold spots and reducing reliance on traditional radiators.

A water flow underfloor heating system uses flexible pipes installed within a screed finished surface or beneath the floor structure. Warm water, supplied by a boiler or heat pump, flows through the pipes and gently heats the floor. This creates a consistent indoor temperature while operating at lower water temperatures than conventional heating systems.

During Winter

During the colder months, underfloor heating works by circulating warm water from the heat source through a network of durable pipes installed beneath the floor. The large heated floor surface distributes warmth evenly throughout the room, creating a comfortable indoor environment while maintaining excellent energy efficiency, even in the coldest weather.

During Summer

In warmer months, the same pipework can be used for cooling by circulating chilled water from a ground source heat pump or a compatible air source heat pump with cooling capability. This gently lowers the floor temperature, helping to reduce the room’s radiant heat and create a cooler, more comfortable living or working space without the draughts associated with traditional air conditioning.

Wet underfloor heating systems achieve the best performance when installed in conjunction with a suitable screed, such as traditional sand and cement or Cemfloor liquid screed. By fully encapsulating the heating pipework, the screed acts as an effective heat conductor, distributing warmth evenly across the entire floor surface. This improves heat transfer, reduces warm-up times, eliminates cold spots, and increases the overall efficiency of the heating system.

Selecting the correct screed type and depth is essential to maximise the performance and longevity of your underfloor heating. Screed that is too thin may not provide adequate coverage or structural strength, while excessive thickness can increase thermal mass and result in slower response times. As a general guide, traditional sand and cement screeds are typically installed at a minimum thickness of around 65mm for bonded domestic applications, increasing to 75mm or more where higher loadings or floating constructions are required. Flowing liquid screeds, such as Cemfloor, can often be installed at reduced depths while still fully encapsulating the pipework, allowing for faster heat transfer, improved responsiveness, and shorter construction programmes.

Every project has its own design requirements, including floor build-up, insulation levels, pipe diameters, and floor finishes. We assess each installation individually to ensure the correct screed specification and minimum cover above the heating pipes are achieved, providing a durable floor construction that delivers maximum comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term performance.

Water flow underfloor heating is a future-ready heating solution that works seamlessly with renewable energy sources. It offers long-term savings, enhanced comfort, and a clean, modern heating setup ideal for today’s building standards.
