Expert Underfloor Heating in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, UK

Novo Plumbing Ltd installs wet (hydronic) and electric underfloor heating systems across Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. George Pearce and Joel Pope manage every installation personally.

Underfloor heating is available as a standalone project or as part of a full bathroom refit. It is most commonly installed in bathrooms and kitchen extensions, though it can be fitted across larger areas of a property using a wet system connected to the existing boiler.

Novo Plumbing installs two types of underfloor heating: • Electric systems: Use a heating mat or cable laid beneath the floor covering. Well-suited to single rooms, quick to install, and do not require connection to an existing boiler. • Wet systems: Use warm water pumped through pipes beneath the floor. Better suited to larger areas and generally more cost-effective to run over time.

The floor construction in Sunbury-on-Thames properties affects which system is most appropriate and how it's installed. Solid concrete floors suit a screed-over wet system. Timber suspended floors, common in properties around Sunbury Park, use a lightweight staple-up or overlay panel approach. Novo assesses the floor construction and recommends the right installation method during the consultation.

Floor covering choice matters. Tiles and stone conduct heat efficiently and are the best choice for underfloor heating. Engineered wood and laminate work well with correct specifications. Carpet can be used with underfloor heating but requires a low-tog rating carpet that is specifically rated for use with the system.

Where a wet system is being installed without an existing boiler to connect to, Novo will flag this during the estimator process. A full wet system without a heat source requires a separate boiler installation or heat pump, which adds to the overall scope.

The 12-month Novo Guarantee covers all workmanship. An optional 2-year extended warranty is available.
