Choose wet or electric systems from floor and heat-source evidence

Underfloor heating packages should state wet or electric intent after floor build-up and heat-source facts are clear. Joists, screeds and finished floor levels change method. A postcode package rate is not a safe design basis. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Coordinate rooms, manifolds and controls

Room list, manifold location and thermostat strategy belong in the brief. Bathrooms, kitchens and extensions often have different build-ups. Controls should be designed with the accepted heating strategy rather than added as an afterthought. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Keep gas competence separate when a boiler is in scope

Water-side underfloor heating is not automatically gas work. If the accepted scope reaches a gas appliance or gas pipework, that work follows a Gas Safe-registered engineer. Gas smell → 0800 111 999 first. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Plan floor preparation and occupation honestly

Floor preparation, drying and finishes affect programme. Occupation during works should be stated. Making-good of finishes is included only when the written package says so. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Integrate with bathroom and extension first fix

UFH often sits inside bathroom renovation or extension packages. Sequencing with waterproofing, screeds and first fix should be explicit so trades do not reverse finished work. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Record freeholder rules for flats

Flats may restrict noisy works, waste and working hours. Freeholder notes should be attached when held. Shared floors and services need careful coordination. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Programme after design assumptions are accepted

Submitting a brief is not a booking. Design assumptions about floor depth and heat source must be accepted before irreversible strip-out. Capacity is confirmed case by case. Wet and electric underfloor heating systems are designed against floor build-up and heat source. Gas appliance work, if engaged, follows Gas Safe competence; finished flooring supply and making-good stay separate unless included in writing. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Compare UFH proposals by system type and exclusions

A comparable proposal lists system type, rooms, floor preparation, controls, testing and exclusions such as finished flooring supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ask for an underfloor heating?▼
Use the online form or call 020 7101 3168. Include the postcode, a clear description of the issue or project, photographs where helpful, and access notes. Submission starts a review — it is not a confirmed booking.
Where can I ask for an underfloor heating?▼
You may submit for Hampstead, North West London and wider London postcodes. Dedicated pages currently focus on neighbourhoods such as Hampstead, Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, St John's Wood and West Hampstead, with other postcodes reviewed case by case. Coverage and timing are confirmed after the location and scope have been reviewed — not solely because an area page exists.
Who carries out the work?▼
Accepted work goes to Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance. We name the skill, registration and insurance the job needs before work starts.
How is the price agreed?▼
The price depends on access, the condition of the building, materials, programme and any approvals needed. Where we can quote, the written document states inclusions, assumptions, exclusions and payment terms. Smaller completed jobs are paid by bank transfer after completion; larger works use the deposit and final terms in the accepted quote.
Do I need a visit before you can quote?▼
Not always. Clear photographs and a written description can be enough for straightforward scopes. Complex fabric, structural openings, concealed services or unclear access usually need a visit before a safe price basis can be written.
What should I send about a flat or a managed building?▼
For flats and mansion blocks, attach any licence-to-alter, working-hours note, riser plan or managing-agent rules you already hold. Lift size, porter rules and communal corridor protection often affect how underfloor heating attendance is programmed. Freeholder approval is never invented from a neighbourhood page alone — those facts come from the property documents and the accepted written scope.
Does this work need Building Control?▼
Not always. Whether approval or a competent-person route is needed depends on the defined work and property. Openings, structural alterations, drainage changes and certain electrical or heating works are more likely to need one of those routes. We flag known compliance questions in triage. A service hub does not predict a notification outcome from a neighbourhood page. Attach any existing notice or completion certificate you hold.
Can I submit an underfloor heating brief in London?▼
Yes. Send the postcode and job details for review. Submission is not a booking; we confirm whether the brief fits, current availability and the next step.
How is underfloor heating work priced?▼
The price depends on the accepted scope, access, timing, materials and any assessment required. We confirm a written quote or other agreed price basis before planned work starts.

People Also Ask About Underfloor Heating

Can underfloor heating be installed in a listed building?▼

Sometimes, but consents must be established first. Historic England advises finding out whether listed building consent, building regulations approval or planning permission are needed before a contractor starts work, and says works should minimise loss of, and permanent scarring to, historic fabric such as old walls, floors or ceilings. Whether a particular property is listed must be confirmed with the local planning authority.

Do I need a thermostat in every room with underfloor heating?▼

In England, each room usually needs its own control. Approved Document L, Volume 1: Dwellings, paragraph 5.20 says that in new dwellings, and when a heat generator such as a boiler is replaced in an existing dwelling, each room should be provided with thermostatic room controls capable of separately adapting the heating output in each room served. Paragraph 5.21 allows zone control only in limited cases.

Source: Approved Document L, Conservation of fuel and power, Volume 1: Dwellings, 2021 edition incorporating 2023 amendments, paragraphs 5.20–5.21, GOV.UK

Does underfloor heating have to be commissioned and documented?▼

Where Part L applies, yes. In England, Approved Document L, Volume 1: Dwellings, paragraph 8.13 says all installed equipment in underfloor heating systems should be commissioned in accordance with BS EN 1264-4. Regulation 40 of the Building Regulations 2010 separately requires the person carrying out the work to give the owner sufficient operating and maintenance information within five days of completion.

Does underfloor heating need building regulations approval?▼

In England it must meet the Building Regulations either way. The Planning Portal states that electric underfloor heating must comply with Part P for electrical safety, and that this work can be done by a member of a competent person scheme who can self-certify it. Wet underfloor heating must comply with Part L, conservation of fuel and power, and will likely require building control approval.

Source: Planning Portal Interactive House FAQ: Do I need building regulations approval to add underfloor heating?

How deep should screed be over electric underfloor heating cables?▼

In England, Approved Document L, Volume 1: Dwellings, paragraph 6.33 says electric cables for underfloor heating should be installed within screeds not exceeding 60mm for direct electric systems, and within screeds of at least 65mm for night energy storage systems. Paragraph 6.34 adds that where night storage systems are used, at least 20 per cent of the dwelling's floor area should have fast-response heating.

How much insulation is needed under underfloor heating?▼

In England, Approved Document L, Volume 1: Dwellings, paragraph 6.29 says ground floors and floors in contact with the outside should be insulated to limit heat losses to no more than 10W/m². Paragraph 6.30 adds that systems intended for intermittent or cyclical operation, or installed over unheated rooms, should be separated from the structural floor by insulation with a thermal resistance of at least 1.25 m²K/W.

Source: Approved Document L, Conservation of fuel and power, Volume 1: Dwellings, 2021 edition incorporating 2023 amendments, paragraphs 6.29–6.30, GOV.UK

Is electric underfloor heating in a bathroom notifiable?▼

Only if it involves a new circuit or work in a special location. Regulation 12(6A) of the Building Regulations 2010 makes installing a new circuit notifiable anywhere in a dwelling in England, and makes any addition or alteration to an existing circuit in a special location, which includes the zone around a bath or shower, notifiable too. Approved Document P, paragraph 2.7, confirms all other electrical work is not notifiable.

Source: Approved Document P: Electrical safety – Dwellings, 2013 edition, paragraphs 2.5 and 2.7, GOV.UK

What controls must new underfloor heating have?▼

In England, Approved Document L, Volume 1: Dwellings, paragraph 6.28 says all underfloor heating systems should have controls to adjust the operating temperature, that room thermostats for electric underfloor heating should have a manual override, and that heating systems for screed floors thicker than 65mm should automatically reduce the room temperature at night or when the room is unoccupied.
