Underfloor Heating in Your Existing HomeMore Achievable Than You Think.

Retrofitting underfloor heating is one of the questions we’re asked most often, and one of the most commonly misunderstood. In the vast majority of cases, it can be done. You simply need the right system and a specialist who knows how to specify it correctly.

The Main Challenge and How We Solve It

The primary constraint with retrofit UFH is floor height. In an existing property, building the floor up significantly can affect door clearances, skirting boards, thresholds and – in older buildings – ceiling heights. This rules out traditional screed systems for most renovation projects.

Modern low-profile UFH systems are designed precisely for this scenario. Our retrofit range includes systems with build-up heights starting at under 20mm, making them suitable for the great majority of existing properties – including period buildings and older homes with limited floor depth.

The key is matching the right system to your specific floor construction and project requirements. That’s exactly what we do.

Popular Renovation Scenarios

Kitchen renovation

One of the most common retrofit UFH projects. Kitchens typically have tiled or stone floors – ideal for underfloor heating – and the disruption of a kitchen refit makes it the natural moment to install.

Bathroom or wet room

A low-profile system beneath tiled flooring in a bathroom or en suite is one of the most practical and popular UFH applications.

Conservatory or extension

Adding UFH to a new extension is particularly straightforward – the floor is open during construction, making installation almost as clean as a new build project.

Whole-house renovation

If you’re undertaking a full renovation, this is your best opportunity to install UFH throughout the ground floor – and potentially upper floors – before new finishes go in.

Is My Home Suitable?

Almost certainly – but we’ll confirm it for you. The factors we assess include:

Floor construction: solid concrete, suspended timber or beam and block

Available floor height: how much build-up is acceptable

Heat source: existing boiler, heat pump or future-proofing for both

Floor coverings: your chosen finish influences which system performs best

Insulation: adequate insulation beneath or around the system is important for efficiency

The quickest way to find out what’s possible in your property is to get in touch. We’ll ask the right questions and give you a straight answer.
