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.

The whole of the Aquaheat Ashford team, from start to finish, were polite, helpful, professional. They communicated with each other to deliver an exemplary service and can be very proud of everything they do. As a family run firm they support and complement each others' skills and are clearly committed to the area and its people. Clinton and Ryan installed our Worcester Bosch system in a record time so that we avoided the dreadful effects of winter weather. We would recommend Aquaheat Ashford to anyone who is suffering from poor plumbing or heating. Happy Christmas and a Very Prosperous New Year to you all.

Had a quote from Lee, who was very good. I had a few queries with the office and Jade and Beckie were very helpful. Trevor and Matt then replaced our elderly boiler and did a great job, they were very helpful. Thank you.

Trevor & Matt were extremely professional & affable they were always on time & worked diligently, always left everything clean & tidy at the end of each day. Once installation was complete they took time to set up the system & explained clearly how everything worked. Thoroughly professional company, would definitely recommend.

Lee who visited the property to survey what was needed was helpful and polite. The engineers, Felix and Matt, were both professional, polite and friendly, they came with all the right equipment, worked well and did a good job of removing the old boiler and fitting the new one. They showed me the new controls and the manual. They did a good job of cleaning up after themselves, and they took the old boiler and fittings away with them. I would recommend them and will use them again for any work in the future.

I'd lost confidence in my central heating system, due to a few issues over the years. Lee came round, and traced the issues, then Felix came round and replaced all the control devices. Everyone has been really friendly, and seemed really competent. I felt I was really listened to, as opposed to just being offered the repair that they wanted to do, like can happen. I'm in that position now where if there is ever a central heating issue, I don't look for anyone else to come round, I know it's just Aquaheat I use.

Just had our 25 year old boiler replaced by this company. Very impressed with the professional attitude shown throughout, from Lee coming out to explain everything in detail through to Clinton, Matt & Ryan coming along at the specified time and undertaking the install in a courteous & tidy fashion with any questions clearly explained. We would certainly recommend this company.

We have just had our boiler re-located and replaced with a new Worcester Bosch. Lee explained, in a clear and friendly manner, the different options available to us. Clinton and Matt carried out the installation very efficiently and always seemed happy in their work. They explained what they proposed doing each morning and showed us the completed work before leaving each day. They were both very courteous and friendly at all times. We would not hesitate to use Aquaheat again.
