what is underfloor heating?
Choosing underfloor heating from Robert Cliff Ltd gives many homeowners steady comfort, more wall space and better energy efficiency. A well-planned underfloor heating system runs beneath the floor, so warmth rises evenly through each room. Contact our Leicester underfloor heating team today for advice, information and a heating design based on your property.
We specialise in electric and water underfloor heating for homes, business premises, new build properties and renovation work. Underfloor heating is energy efficient because it can heat rooms at a lower temperature than radiators. Our heating services cover design, supply, installation, service and repairs, with control options and thermostats for each zone.
Electric Underfloor Heating
Electric underfloor heating uses cables or mats installed beneath the floor finish.
Once switched on, the system quickly produces heat and warms the complete room.
It is perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, extensions and smaller project areas where simple installation matters.
Water-Based Underfloor Heating
Water underfloor heating uses pipes connected to a boiler, gas boiler or heat pumps. Warm water moves through the pipes, heating the floor above.
This efficient system suits larger homes, commercial property, new build projects and major renovation work, where lower running costs and lasting comfort matter.
How does Underfloor heating work?
Underfloor heating spreads heat evenly beneath the floor, creating a comfortable temperature throughout the room. The heating design considers insulation, floor finish, pipework, control and the heat each space needs.
Electric underfloor heating uses cables or mats below the surface. When switched on, they generate warmth that rises into the room. This underfloor heating installation is suitable for smaller spaces, existing floors and areas being retrofitted.
Water-based UFH uses pipes connected to a boiler or heat pumps. Heated water passes through the pipes and spreads heating across the ground floor or upper levels. Overlay systems can reduce build height. A professional underfloor heating installer will design, install and test the system for safe, efficient performance.
Radiators vs underfloor heating
Our expert team at Robert Cliff Ltd can help you compare radiators with underfloor heating and choose the right heating system. Both options provide dependable heating, but the best choice depends on your house, floor construction, budget, available space and project plans.
Radiators
Radiators are a familiar central heating option and can be quicker to install, with lower upfront costs in some homes. They provide fast heat and simple temperature control through thermostats.
However, radiators use wall space and may create hot areas nearby with cooler areas elsewhere.
Visible units can also limit furniture positions and room design.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating spreads heat across the whole floor, creating even warmth and a cosy environment. Because the system is hidden, it frees wall space and supports cleaner, flexible design.
Underfloor heating can be more efficient than radiators because it works at lower temperatures. Good insulation, correct control and careful installation help reduce energy use and improve efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
about Underfloor Heating...
We install electric and water-based underfloor heating systems. The right option depends on room size, property type, floor finish, insulation and heating needs. Our engineers recommend a suitable system and explain the installation process clearly.
This form of heating can be fitted in existing homes, extensions and renovated spaces. Low-profile overlay systems may work over existing floors, while other projects need preparation. We assess floor height, insulation and the current heating system before recommending an option.
Underfloor heating suitable options are available for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms and extensions. It can work with tile, stone, wood and approved carpet. Our team checks heat output, floor construction and room use so the chosen system performs safely and reliably.
Underfloor heating can provide steady warmth while running at a lower temperature than traditional radiators. Its energy efficiency depends on insulation, heating design, controls and system use. Correct installation can help homeowners manage heating costs without reducing comfort.
Installation times depend on area size, system type and property condition. A small room may take less time, while a full house or new build project takes longer. We explain the order of work, expected timescale and what needs completing before the job begins.
Yes. We carry out underfloor heating repairs for damaged controls, uneven heating, pressure loss, faulty pumps and damaged pipes. Our gas engineers inspect connected boiler parts where needed and explain repairs before starting the job.
Regular service checks keep water-based UFH working correctly and help prevent repairs. We inspect controls, pumps, pipes and system pressure, then provide practical advice. Our general plumbing experience also helps identify connected water or plumbing issues.
In many properties, underfloor heating can replace radiators and become the main heating source. In others, it works better alongside radiators, a boiler or heat pumps. We assess the property, insulation and heating demand before giving reliable advice for your home.
