We Help You Choose The Right UFH Controls

Choosing the correct thermostats, wiring centres, actuators, and sensors is essential for getting the most from your underfloor heating system. Factors such as the number of heating zones, property layout, heat source, and user requirements all influence which controls are most suitable. Our team can help identify compatible products and recommend the right control setup before you place an order.

  • Do I Need A Smart Thermostat?
    Smart thermostats allow users to control heating remotely, create schedules, and manage temperatures room by room. They are ideal for homeowners looking to maximise comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency.

  • How Many Heating Zones Should I Have?
    The ideal number of zones depends on the size and layout of the property. Separating living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, and extensions into individual zones can improve temperature control and reduce unnecessary energy usage.

  • What Controls Are Required For A UFH System?
    Most systems require a thermostat, wiring centre, actuator, and associated sensors or valves. The exact requirements depend on the number of zones, manifold configuration, and whether wired or wireless controls are being used.

  • Can I Upgrade Existing UFH Controls?
    Many underfloor heating systems can be upgraded with modern smart thermostats and wireless controls without replacing the entire installation. Our technical team can help identify compatible upgrade options for your existing setup.

  • Do UFH Controls Work With Heat Pumps?
    Many modern underfloor heating controls are designed to work alongside air source and ground source heat pumps, helping to optimise efficiency and maintain consistent room temperatures throughout the property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Underfloor Heating Systems

Don’t worry if we have’t answered your question below, our expert team is on hand to assist.

Can I buy the full system from you?2026-05-18T11:12:40+00:00

Yes. We can supply complete underfloor heating solutions including manifolds, controls, pipe, wiring centres, actuators, and system components, helping ensure everything is compatible and easier to install.

How quickly can systems and materials be delivered?2026-05-18T11:12:12+00:00

We carry extensive UK stock, allowing many systems and components to be dispatched quickly, often within 24 hours depending on availability.

Do you provide technical support before ordering?2026-05-18T11:11:57+00:00

Yes. We can help with product selection, system compatibility, layout guidance, and general advice before you place an order, helping ensure you purchase the correct components first time.

Will underfloor heating work under my floor covering?2026-05-18T10:55:41+00:00

Most floor finishes are compatible, including tile, laminate, engineered wood, vinyl, and carpet. Some finishes transfer heat more efficiently than others, so we can advise on the best setup for performance and comfort.

How do I know which pipe size I need?2026-05-18T10:55:26+00:00

Pipe size depends on the system design, heat requirements, and floor build-up. Common options include 10mm, 12mm, and 16mm pipe. We can help guide you to the correct specification for your project.

Do I need different systems for upstairs and downstairs?2026-05-18T10:52:57+00:00

Not always, but different floor constructions may require different solutions. For example, a screeded system may suit a ground floor, while a suspended timber floor upstairs may require an in-floor system with heat spreader plates.

Are your systems suitable for renovation projects?2026-05-18T10:52:04+00:00

Absolutely. We supply several low-profile systems specifically designed for retrofit and renovation projects where floor build-up height is limited.

Can your systems work with heat pumps?2026-05-18T10:51:45+00:00

Yes. Many of our underfloor heating systems are designed to operate efficiently with air source and ground source heat pumps, helping improve energy efficiency and lower running temperatures.

What’s the difference between screed, on-floor, and in-floor systems?2026-05-18T10:51:20+00:00

Screed systems are installed within a screed layer and are commonly used in new builds.
On-floor systems sit above the subfloor and are ideal where floor height needs to stay low during renovations.
In-floor systems are designed for suspended timber floors and fit between joists using heat spreader plates.

Which underfloor heating system is right for my project?2026-05-18T10:50:58+00:00

The best system depends on your floor construction, available floor height, heat source, and whether the project is a new build or renovation. Our team can help recommend the most suitable option based on your plans, helping avoid compatibility or performance issues later on.
