ZEST UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Underfloor Heating Specialists !

About us

At Zest Wet Underfloor Heating we have dedicated teams around the country who are experts in fitting underfloor heating.

Our teams have the technical know how to ensure that your have an efficient underfloor heating system and can advise on the best layout based on your room and budget.

Our team have all the skills to complete an underfloor heating project from start to finish so you don't need to worry about getting in multiple trades to do one aspect of work to then hand over to another. The biggest issue with such an approach is then establishing who can provide a viable guarantee for the work, should something go wrong. Unfortunately, it is well know in the building industry that one trade will point the finger at the preceding trade if something is not to their satisfaction and re-works or squabbles over who did what often end up causing a delay in completing the project or worse issues with quality.

Our teams can ensure the floor is level and in a suitable state for laying underfloor heating pipes or cables and importantly know what bases, screeds and top floor surfaces will enable you to get the best possible heat transfer whilst still achieving the visual impact that you were after.

Why Choose Zest Underfloor Heating?

As mentioned, our selected underfloor heating contractors are able to complete your whole underfloor heating project. When installing underfloor heating there are a number of stages and components, which go into completing a project involving underfloor heating - what you fit to your floor before you lay your underfloor heating, the underfloor heating itself and what you then lay on top of your underfloor heating.

Mostly tiles will be the final floor finish, and as one of the most common rooms for underfloor heating is a bathroom or wet room, it is clearly important that the quality of tiling is done to such a level that there is no chance of water ingress, or that damage to the underfloor heating system is done when fitting the floor tiles.

With a Zest Underfloor Heating our fitters complete the whole project - one company accountable for everything, one bill and one guarantee.

If there is an issue which needs resolving it can be costly to make repairs so it is important to get it right first time to ensure everything is securely in place, nothing has been damaged in the installation process and things have been tested properly, at the right time along the way.

Our selected Zest Underfloor heating teams can be found at the bottom of the page with more teams being added to all the time. So if you are thinking of getting underfloor heating installed in our home, and your area is covered,  please get in touch.

Frequently Asked Underfloor Heating Questions

  • Which underfloor heating system is best?

    Best will depend on your budget, the size of your room and what floor surface ideally you would want. Our team can discuss the finer details but as a general rule of thumb: for a single room such as a bathroom or wet room - electric underfloor heating is cheaper to install. If you are looking at underfloor heating for a whole floor say constructing a self-build house, then based on current heating costs, a wet system running off your boiler would be cheaper to run longer-term. 

  • Can you fit underfloor heating under vinyl or laminate flooring

    Yes - laminate flooring is also quite a good option for underfloor heating. Heat efficiency decreases as the thickness of a laminate floor increases so to have effective underfloor heating through a laminate floor you should aim for laminates less than 18mm in thickness. The same principle would apply to wood flooring too.

    If you definitely want underfloor heating but perhaps need to shave costs elsewhere, a vinyl floor or luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) in a bathroom is a great option.

  • Can underfloor heating problems be fixed?

    Depending on what the issue is will depend on what can be fixed. As a general rule if the installation of either wet or electric underfloor heating has been tested before, during and after installation and fitted properly the pipe or cable will be protected by surrounding layers - it is unlikely to get damaged in normal use and should therefore be reliable for many years. The most likely issue will be a fault in the thermostat. If that is the case a simple thermostat replacement will get you back up and running again.

  • Is underfloor heating expensive to run?

    If set up properly underfloor heating can be more efficient than traditional central heating although not by much. Under tiled or stone floors on the tiles have been heated they retain the heat and work in a similar principle to storage heaters meaning that the floor will stay warm and give off heat even without electricity running through it. 

  • Why have underfloor heating?

    One of the main advantages of underfloor heating is the space-saving it provides and the even heating within a room. 

    Whilst modern radiators have come a long way over the years in terms of design and efficiency they still can be seen as an eyesore. As a result, sometimes sofas or other items will be placed in front of them which then results in a poorer circulation of heat. 

    Underfloor heating can be laid across the whole floor, even across irregular shaped rooms to ensure even heating throughout

As well as the underfloor heating the Zest Underfloor heating team were able to complete the whole wet room, which looks fantastic - thanks guys.

I just want to keep lying on the floor it's lovely and warm and looks great too. I'm really pleased we've got rid of the ugly radiators in the kitchen and it really does make the room look bigger.
