Underfloor Heating Expert

Even Heat, No Radiators in the Way

Underfloor heating spreads warmth evenly across a room instead of relying on a few hot spots near radiators. It suits renovations, extensions and rooms with limited wall space especially well, and can be fitted as wet pipework or electric mats depending on the room.

It works well with most boilers, and pairs particularly well with a heat pump because both run efficiently at lower flow temperatures than a radiator system needs.

Underfloor Heating Guide

Is Underfloor Heating Right for Your Room?

It works particularly well in kitchens, bathrooms and extensions, where tiled or hard flooring can otherwise feel cold underfoot, and where wall space for radiators is often limited by units or fixtures.

Wet systems (connected to your heating) suit renovations and new builds best. Electric mat systems are quicker to retrofit into a single room like a bathroom. We’ll recommend the right type after seeing the space and your existing heating system.

COMMON WARNING SIGNS

Don't Ignore These Signs

Book a check if you notice any of these. Most problems are quicker and cheaper to fix when they are caught early.

Frequent Breakdowns

Constant repairs could mean it's time to replace your boiler.

Higher Energy Bills

Older boilers are often less efficient and more expensive to run.

Uneven Heating

Cold radiators or inconsistent temperatures may indicate your boiler is struggling.

Strange Noises

Banging, whistling or gurgling sounds shouldn't be ignored.

Water Leaks

Leaks around your boiler can lead to further damage if left untreated.

Old Boiler

If your boiler is over 10–15 years old, replacing it may be more cost-effective than repairing it.

Sharif bhai did a very good job in my property. He fitted the shower properly and fixed the leak issue. He checked everything carefully and made sure there was no more leaking after the work finished. He was polite, professional, and helpful. The work was neat and clean, and the shower is now working very well. I am happy with his service and I would recommend Sharif bhai to others for plumbing work.

I recently had my boiler serviced by Heatgap( 99 Byron Road,Luton) and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The Technician arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything clearly. The service was thorough, and they made sure the boiler was running safely and efficiently before leaving. What really stood out was their friendly attitude and attention to detail. They took the time to answer my questions and gave helpful advice on maintaining the boiler. Overall, excellent service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Heatgap to anyone looking for reliable and professional boiler servicing.

Slightly, depending on the system and floor build-up. We’ll talk through the exact height impact for your room during the survey.

It’s generally efficient, especially alongside a heat pump, since both work well at lower flow temperatures than a standard radiator system needs.
