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. 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.

I would highly recommend AQUAHEAT and all of their engineers. I’ve been using them for many years and have always been really impressed, which is why I continue to come back to them. The workmanship is consistently first class, but what really stands out is their exceptional customer service that they have maintained as the company has grown. From the first call to make an appointment, everyone is friendly, professional and helpful. The engineers are always considerate and take great care in my home, which I really appreciate. They also have excellent systems in place, with prompt quotes, invoices and guarantees, reminders when your annual service is due, and clear, professional advice if any further work is needed. A particular thank you to Brad for his recent work. As always, he was friendly, professional and took great care, and the work was carried out to a really high standard. A great company that genuinely cares about its customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AQUAHEAT

We have just had our family bathroom gutted and replaced in Ashford. From start to finish AquaHeat were amazing! They arranged everything from start to finish. We just had to go and pick out bathroom suite and the flooring. Dan the bathroom fitter was amazing he explained everything he was doing so we understood what was going on and when! He was very careful with our property whilst he was carrying out the fit, carrying things up the stairs etc! Always prompt and on time! He also done a great job tidying up after himself each day! The flooring was a quick fit, we had a little issue but it was resolved ASAP by the team at AquaHeat! The decorator was amazing, professional and tidied up after himself!! We are so happy with the new bathroom and want to say a big thanks to team AquaHeat!

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.
