Underfloor Heating Installation & Repair Specialists

We offer the widest available range of underfloor heating systems, with a product available for every conceivable floor type within your residential property.

Underfloor heating systems can be quickly and easily fitted over an existing floor, or built into a new one, in one room or throughout the whole house. Find out more about the benefits of underfloor heating installation below.

Wet Underfloor Heating Systems

Wet underfloor heating systems involve a series of pipes connected to the boiler, which circulate warm water under the floor. This distributes the heat evenly across the surface of the floor, meaning that the space can be heated using water at a lower temperature than is usually required with a single radiator.

Polypipe underfloor heating is one of the most common choices when it comes to underfloor heating systems, boasting benefits from cost-efficiency to a full range of floor systems.

Dry, or Electric, Underfloor Heating Systems

Unlike wet underfloor heating, dry underfloor heating uses a network of wires under the floor rather than a series of pipes. These wires or heating mats then warm up evenly, spreading the heat through the floor’s surface.

Electric underfloor heating is often recommended for existing builds, as it is easier to install than the polypipe network required for wet heating systems. Electric floor heating can often heat up quicker than wet solutions, but it is likely to be more expensive to run than the gas-fed wet systems.

Underfloor Heating for Most Floor Coverings

Underfloor heating works with most floor coverings, from ceramic and stone tiles to wood, engineered wood and carpet. Tile and stone floor surfaces have the highest thermal conductivity, however. This means that they do the most effective job at distributing heat from the system to the floor surface quickly and efficiently - as well as retaining the heat well.

While they are arguably the most effective choice, underfloor heating is still an excellent option for other floor coverings; we’re happy to talk you through the pros and cons of each floor covering option during our initial discussion.

Other Reasons Why Customers Tend to Choose Underfloor Heating Systems

The cost-effective, controllable way to heat a home, wet underfloor heating gently and evenly warms water in a network of pipes and uses this to heat the surface of the floor.

This uses less energy than electric systems, and can run as low as 35°C - compared with radiators that typically operate at 80°C. Underfloor heating systems also typically hold on to the heat for longer, unlike radiators which cool down rapidly once switched off.

Removing the need for radiators helps to free up precious wall and floor space for decorating or rearranging a room, as well as being generally more hygienic than radiators. Studies have found that underfloor heating can help reduce respiratory discomfort, as well as significantly decrease the volume of dust mites found in a home.

Not only is it compatible with most floor surfaces, it’s a great way to take control of heating costs while creating a warm and comfortable home.

Underfloor Heating for Bathrooms

Underfloor heating works with most floor coverings, from ceramic and stone tiles to wood, engineered wood and carpet. Tile and stone floor surfaces have the highest thermal conductivity, however.

Ryan & Owen from Aquaheat installed our air conditioning units and delivered outstanding A++ service, showing professionalism and deep expertise in air conditioning.

Matt and Mike were brilliant, very friendly and efficient. It was a pleasure having them install my new Air Con units. Jack followed on with the electrics and was also top draw. Would highly recommend.

We cannot recommend AquaHeat highly enough for servicing Air conditioning units. We have had our air con units for 5 or so years now and have always used the company that installed them to do the yearly service. However, we needed a company that was more local to take the servicing over due to time restraints. From the outset, our emails and questions were all answered swiftly by Beckie, and everything was explained clearly. On the day, the engineer, Brad, arrived 10 minutes early and was knowledgeable, polite and professional. The servicing and deep clean were done efficiently, and everything was left immaculate. As a busy chiropractic clinic in Ashford, we needed a company that could work around our time constraints, and the team at AquaHeat certainly made it very easy for us.

Highly recommend this company. From the quote to the install everyone was friendly and helpful. Lee, who came to to do the quote had it back to us in a very timely manner. Matt & Mike who did the install were lovey, very professional and you would not have known they had been there after they had finished. This is a company that is busy so yes if your job is not urgent you will wait but it is worth the wait to use a reliable and reputable local company

From our first appointment with Lee to our new boiler being installed we have been more than happy with our decision to use Aquaheat Ashford. Lee, Ryan, Owen and James were very professional and polite. They left our house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend them.

Matt and Mike were absolutely brilliant installing our new boiler, took less time than i'd originally thought and explained everything to me. Professional, on time, very tidy and gave tips and hints to keep us happy going forward. Cannot fault them, would 1000% recommend to anyone considering replacing their boiler.

We had our air conditioning installed by Aquaheat and I highly recommend them! We were provided with a quote quickly and advised of the best options for our property, and didn’t have to wait too long for an installation date. The install went smoothly and the guys who did it were so lovely and professional. There was a bit of a mishap with some brick dust going over the carpet (a genuine mistake) but Aquaheat were very apologetic and ensured this was rectified with no fuss. 5 stars! ✨

We have had an AirCon unit installed today, and we are absolutely pleased as punch. The 2 installers Matt & Mike were extremely polite, thorough and professional. The electrical engineer Wayne was also as pleasant as Matt & Mike. The Bosch AirCon unit is absolutely brilliant, And now my wife isnt going to melt away. As they say... Happy Wife Happy Life 👀

Matt installed a new boiler at our house today. Arrived promptly, was polite and respectful of our property and made no mess whatsoever! Also went above and beyond to sort out teething problems with the Hive thermostat. Highly recommend.
