Water-fed underfloor heating — Underfloor heating specialist
Provide the rooms to be served, current heat source and planned floor construction. Explain whether radiators will remain elsewhere so the specialist can assess the floor-heating circuits and their relationship with the rest of the heating system.
Service scope
Floor heating that circulates heated water through a designed pipe network, with manifolds, controls and connection to a suitable heat source. This is a water-fed system whether the floor assembly uses a wet screed or a dry construction; the English label must not confuse those two distinctions.
What is normally included
- Pipe-circuit and manifold planning
- Heat-source and zone coordination
- Installation and commissioned handover
What is not included
- Assuming water-fed always means wet screed
- Unspecified boiler or heat-pump replacement
Typical tasks
- Review room heating requirements
- Plan circuits and manifold locations
- Check heat-source interfaces
- Coordinate pipe installation and floor works
- Commission zones and record the installation
What to include in your brief
- Room plans
- Heat-source type and records
- Existing radiator or zone layout
- Floor build-up constraints
- Suitable manifold access locations
Choosing the right professional
Ask for a system proposal that identifies circuit planning, manifold access and commissioning, not just pipe quantities. Confirm who coordinates any mixing, circulation or control interfaces and whether the floor contractor follows the specified assembly.
Important considerations
- Poorly coordinated interfaces can leave rooms heating unevenly
- Concealed circuits are harder to alter after floor completion
