Get started nowIf you’re unsure which system suits your home, here’s a quick overview:
Electric underfloor heating is slim, responsive, and easy to install — ideal for smaller spaces or retrofit projects.
Water (wet) underfloor heating systems connect to your central heating or heat pump and are perfect for larger homes or full-property installations, offering superb long-term efficiency.
We’ll assess your space, explain your options clearly, and recommend the best system for your needs and budget.
Underfloor heating works at lower water temperatures than traditional radiators, but it spreads heat more evenly across the floor. That means you stay just as warm using less energy. Paired with smart thermostats, you can control temperatures by room, reducing waste and keeping your bills in check.
At Pilot Light Plumbing & Heating, we don’t cut corners. We use quality components from trusted suppliers and handle every project with care. Our engineers are tidy, punctual, and respectful of your home — you’ll barely notice we’ve been there (apart from the new warm floors, of course).
All work is fully guaranteed and backed by ongoing support should you ever need servicing or advice.
We cover every part of Wickford, including Runwell, Shotgate, Nevendon, Brock Hill, Downham, and Ramsden Bellhouse, as well as nearby postcodes SS11 and SS12.
We also serve neighbouring towns such as Basildon, Billericay, Rayleigh, and South Woodham Ferrers, offering reliable, high-quality underfloor heating across the wider Essex area.
