Less energy being wasted, lower running costs and a more comfortable living environment all round.

Underfloor Heating for all Sorts of Homes

Underfloor heating is perfect for almost any style of property - whether it's a brand new build or a lovely old period home. It can even be installed underneath most types of flooring - including tiles, wood and vinyl - without compromising on style or comfort.

By getting rid of radiators you free up wall space and are left with a more open, uncluttered interior, and underfloor heating gives you silent, consistent warmth and a touch of luxury that can even bump up the value of your property.

Our Brentwood underfloor heating specialists will handle everything from the design stage right through to installation and testing, so you can get your home warmed up without any stress or hassle.

The Types of Underfloor Heating We Install in Brentwood

Electric Underfloor Heating

Electric systems are perfect for homes in Brentwood that want a fast and hassle-free way to heat up a single room - such as a bathroom or kitchen. Using slim cables or heating mats placed beneath your flooring, electric underfloor heating is ideal for smaller rooms and comes with the added bonus of installation being quick and easy with minimal disruption.

Because it doesn't require plumbing work, installation is straightforward - and it's perfect for refurbishments or single room projects. Our engineers fit systems that give you even warmth and allow you to have precise control through modern digital thermostats - making it an easy, efficient upgrade that adds instant comfort to your living space.

Water Underfloor Heating

Also known as a wet or hydronic system, water underfloor heating is a great way to heat up large areas or new builds. It circulates heated water through a network of pipes beneath the floor, working efficiently alongside modern boilers or air source heat pumps.

This type of system is perfect for bigger homes or new builds and offers an energy efficient and eco-friendly way to heat your property. At Pilot Light Plumbing & Heating, we customise every water-based system to suit your layout, ensuring the best performance and comfort for your home in Brentwood.

FAQs

How much does underfloor heating cost to install?
Its costs really depend on the type of system you're going with and how much floor space you have to cover. Electric underfloor heating usually starts around £70-£100 per metre squared, whereas water-based systems will cost you between £100-£150 per m². Give us a shout and we'll sort out a custom quote for you.


What's the main drawback of underfloor heating?
The biggest hassle is probably the installation time. In buildings where the flooring has to be ripped up, it can really hold up the whole process. But our guys are pros at keeping any disruption to a bare minimum.


Do you always have to rip up the floor to install underfloor heating?
More often than not yeah, you're going to have to lift the flooring up for underfloor heating to be installed. But newer low-profile systems are out there which require hardly any height lift - handy for when you're upgrading an old place.


Is underfloor heating cheaper to run than radiators?
Yeah, underfloor heating is generally going to be a cheaper option in the long run. Underfloor heating systems work at lower temperatures and spread the heat out evenly so they're more energy efficient - and that means savings on your bills.


How long are underfloor heating systems supposed to last for?
If you get your underfloor heating installed right and give it some TLC, it can easily last for 30 years or more. And they usually outlast your radiators too.


Why are my underfloor heating costs so high?
High costs usually come down to bad insulation or the thermostat not being set right. Our engineers will come and take a look, sort out any issues and get your system running more efficiently.
