KNOW MORE
What is Water Underfloor Heating?
Water underfloor heating, also known as wet underfloor heating or piped underfloor heating, is a heating system that circulates warm water through a network of pipes installed beneath your floor surface. Unlike electric underfloor heating systems, water underfloor heating connects to your existing boiler or heat pump, making it significantly more cost-effective to run.

Water Underfloor Heating on Concrete Floors
Many homeowners with concrete floors have been told that underfloor heating installation is too disruptive or expensive. At Channel Heat Systems, we specialise in underfloor heating on existing concrete slab floors using advanced precision milling technology.

- Retrofit underfloor heating on concrete floor installations in 1-2 days

How we install water underfloor heating on concrete
Step 1: Specialised Floor Grinding
Our specialised floor grinder mills, grinds, and routes the existing screed or concrete to create precise channels. This innovative process eliminates the need for additional floor build-up, preserving your ceiling height whilst preparing perfect pathways for heating pipes.
Step 2: Flextube Installation
Professional-grade flextubes are installed directly into the milled channels. This direct placement beneath the final floor finish ensures faster heat-up times and more precise room temperature control compared to traditional wet underfloor heating systems.
Step 3: System Connection
Along with the professional plumber, we’ll help to connect your new piped underfloor heating system to your existing boiler or heat pump, with full pressure testing and commissioning.
Step 4: Floor Restoration
Channels are sealed and the floor surface is restored, ready for your chosen floor covering – all without raising your floor level by even a millimetre.
Are you tired of cold spots and high heating bills?
What You’re Experiencing: Your radiators heat the air right next to them, leaving cold patches across your room. You’re paying more each month to heat spaces that never feel quite warm enough. And those bulky radiators limit where you can place furniture or hang artwork. Plus, if you have concrete floors, you’ve been told underfloor heating is impossible or too disruptive.
What You Really Want: Gentle, even warmth that rises from your floors, creating the perfect temperature throughout your entire room. Lower heating bills because the system works more efficiently. The freedom to design your space without working around radiators. And a solution that works with your existing concrete floors without major construction work.
How We Make It Happen: We install professional wet underfloor heating systems across the UK, directly into your existing concrete floors using precision drilling technology. This means no floor height increase, no major disruption, and no “impossible” – just consistent warmth from floor to ceiling, typically 20-30% savings on heating costs, and the wall space freedom you’ve been wanting.
How Water Underfloor Heating Delivers Warmth, Savings & Freedom
- Perfect for your concrete floors: Our advanced milling machines cut precise grooves in concrete and screed surfaces without raising your floor height by even a millimetre. What others call “impossible,” we call “Tuesday.”
- Consistent warmth throughout your home: No more hot spots near radiators and cold corners across the room! Experience the luxury of even, comfortable heating that gently rises from floor to ceiling in every space.
- Precision installation you can trust: Our specialists use exact milling techniques and professional pipe laying to ensure your system works perfectly from day one. Clean, precise, and built to last.
- Excellent value with competitive pricing: We offer competitive pricing with transparent quotes for homeowners ready to transform their heating now. Plus, the system typically pays for itself through energy savings.
Important Note: Permanent wooden flooring may not be suitable due to potential warping from heat changes. We offer self-levelling solutions for wood floor properties at additional cost – we’ll assess your specific situation during consultation.

FAQ
Water Underfloor Heating Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is water underfloor heating suitable for all concrete floors?
A: Yes, our underfloor heating in existing concrete floors service works with most concrete surfaces, including screed, solid concrete slabs, and beam-and-block construction. We assess your specific floor during consultation.
Q: How long does water underfloor heating last?
A: Professional wet underfloor heating systems typically last 25-50 years with proper maintenance – much longer than radiator systems.
Q: Can I install water underfloor heating myself?
A: Whilst underfloor heating kits wet systems are available, professional installation ensures optimal performance, Building Regulations compliance, and warranty coverage. DIY installation may void manufacturer warranties.
Will water UFH work with my heat pump?
A: Absolutely! Water underfloor heating is the perfect partner for heat pumps, as both systems operate efficiently at lower temperatures.
Q: What happens if there's a leak?
A: Modern piped underfloor heating systems are extremely reliable. In the rare event of a leak, our installation includes leak detection systems, and repairs can typically be completed with minimal disruption.
Q: How quickly does water underfloor heating heat up?
A: Our systems heat up much faster than traditional UFH installations. We use 16mm pipes (compared to the 12mm market standard), which means significantly improved water flow and heat transfer. You’ll feel warmth within minutes of switching on, with most rooms reaching target temperature in 30-60 minutes rather than hours. Retrofit systems can typically be commissioned within 24-48 hours of installation completion.
