We work with all major manifold brands — Uponor, JG Speedfit, Polypipe, Nu-Heat and Wunda — and can integrate UFH with your existing boiler or a new system boiler and thermal store. Every zone is commissioned with the correct flow rate, run-off temperature and thermostat pairing.

Underfloor Heating in Balham — FAQs
Can I fit underfloor heating in a Balham Victorian house?
Yes — retrofit UFH is common in Balham (SW12) properties. Low-profile systems fit onto existing floors with only 15–22 mm build-up. We survey each room to confirm heat output against the property's insulation and glazing.
Why is one underfloor heating zone cold?
Usually a failed actuator on the manifold, a wiring-centre fault, or a blocked/airlocked loop. We diagnose the zone, replace the failed part and rebalance the flow on the whole manifold.
Does underfloor heating work with a combi boiler?
It can, for a single small zone. For larger UFH systems we usually recommend a system boiler with a cylinder or heat store, because combis struggle to modulate low enough for UFH's long, low-temperature demand.
