Underfloor Heating Installation

Underfloor heating offers an incredibly comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional radiators, distributing gentle, even warmth across your entire living space. Wheildons is a leading installer of wet underfloor heating systems throughout the Lake District and Cumbria, providing tailored comfort for a wide variety of property types.

We design and fit water-based underfloor heating systems for three distinct scenarios:

In Screed Underfloor Heating Systems

In-screed systems for new builds, structural systems for extensions, and low-profile retrofit systems for existing rooms. In-screed systems are laid directly into the floor structure during construction, turning the entire floor into a massive, efficient heat emitter. For existing properties, our retrofit options lay neatly on top of your current subfloor without requiring you to lower your ceilings or alter your doorways significantly.

Water Based Underfloor Heating Systems

Wet underfloor heating operates using much lower water temperatures than traditional radiators, meaning your boiler or heat pump does not have to work nearly as hard. This translates directly into lower energy consumption and cheaper heating bills. It also removes ugly, space-consuming radiators from your walls, giving you complete freedom when designing your interior layouts.

Retrofit Underfloor Heating Systems

Retrofit underfloor heating is designed specifically for existing properties, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of heated floors without the need to dig up your foundations. These ultra-thin, low-profile water systems sit neatly on top of your current subfloor, meaning they add minimal height to the room and rarely require you to alter doors or skirting boards. They distribute gentle, even warmth across your entire living space, eliminating cold spots and allowing you to remove bulky radiators to free up valuable wall space. It is an exceptionally popular option for updating traditional country homes and holiday lets across the Lake District, working beautifully beneath stone, tile, and engineered wood finishes.

Underfloor Heating Installation by Wheildons

Our team manages the entire process from the initial layout design to the final pressure testing and balancing. We carefully calculate pipe spacing and flow rates to ensure there are no cold spots across your floors. The system works beautifully underneath a vast range of floor coverings, including stone, tile, engineered wood, and premium laminates.

This type of heating is especially beneficial for the Lake District market, where many slate and tiled floors can feel cold underfoot during winter. It is also a fantastic investment for premium holiday lets, providing a touch of luxury that guests love. Our engineers ensure every component is fitted perfectly to protect the longevity of your floors and heating system.

We are so passionate about the efficiency of under floor heating that our own office is fully equipped with a system linked to a Ground Source Heat Pump. This setup has consistently maintained a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout the year, even during harsh winters, all while operating with minimal running costs.
