Frequently Asked Questions

The time it takes for underfloor heating to warm up a room can vary depending on factors such as the flooring type, insulation and the size of the room. Generally, underfloor heating systems take longer to reach the desired temperature compared to radiators or forced-air systems.

The cost will depend on whether you will be supplying your own radiator or need us to source it for you.

We can recommend the best brand/type of radiator to fit your system, then quote for the labour costs. We can visit your property free of charge to asses your requirements.

We can repair or replace nearly all parts in modern boilers. Common boiler faults we have sorted in London include:

• No heat or hot water
• Leaking and dripping
• Strange boiler noises
• Pilot light goes out
• Boiler losing pressure
• Frozen condensate pipe
• Thermostat issues
• Radiators not getting hot
• Boiler keeps switching off

If you have a relatively new boiler that was fitted in the last 10 years, then repairs can be quick, economical and relatively simple to perform.

However older boilers tend to need replacing if a large or essential component starts to fail. In some cases replacing parts may simply result in another failure down the line as the boiler ages.

We will review your boiler fault and let you know if we recommend repair or replacement.

We are often asked what is the best boiler to buy. There are many factors that decide which boiler is suitable for your home, including the size of the property, number of rooms, number of baths/showers, the energy supply available to your location etc. The most popular type of boiler for modern homes is a ‘combi boiler’ which provides a constant supply of hot water by heating water directly from the mains supply.

We are happy to visit your property and give you our best recommendation.

While the initial installation cost of underfloor heating may be slightly higher than traditional heating methods, it is generally more cost effective in the long run. Underfloor heating operates at a lower temperature and provides more even heat distribution resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower heating bills over time.
