Underfloor heating installed without a correct heat loss calculation or adequate floor insulation will not deliver even warmth regardless of the system specified. Incorrect pipe spacing causes cold spots, insufficient insulation beneath the floor wastes energy back into the subfloor, and a manifold that has not been correctly balanced results in uneven heat output across different zones. At EBT Build, every underfloor heating installation is designed from a full heat loss assessment before any pipework is laid or any price is agreed.

Every underfloor heating installation at EBT Build covers the following as standard. Nothing is charged separately after the quote is agreed and no stage is skipped regardless of system type or floor area.
All installations are completed by our own heating engineers. Every wet system is pressure tested before any screed or floor covering is laid, and every electric system is tested and certified before the floor finish is installed. Where properties require supplementary heating in addition to the underfloor system, radiator installation can be integrated as part of the same project.
We design and install wet and electric underfloor heating systems across North London based on the property type, floor construction, and heating demand confirmed during the initial survey. Every installation integrates with the existing central heating system, heat pump, or boiler, and pipe loops, manifolds, and flow and return connections are balanced before final commissioning to ensure even heat distribution across all zones. Where the existing pipework requires upgrading to support new heating circuits, pipework replacement is carried out as part of the installation before any underfloor system is connected.
We install wet underfloor heating systems using water based pipe loops connected to an existing boiler or heat pump across properties throughout North London. Every wet system installation includes insulation board placement, pipe loop layout design, manifold installation, zone control configuration, and full pressure testing before any floor covering is fitted.
We install electric underfloor heating systems using heating mats or loose wire cables beneath tile, stone, and other hard floor coverings across North London properties. Electric systems are particularly suited to bathrooms, kitchens, and single room installations where wet system pipework is not practical or where a faster installation without screed is required.
We carry out retrofit underfloor heating installations on existing properties across North London where raising floor levels significantly is not possible. Low profile insulated panels with pre-routed pipe channels are used to minimise floor height increase while maintaining effective heat output, making retrofit systems suitable for most existing homes without major structural alteration.
We carry out full commissioning and balancing on newly installed underfloor heating systems to ensure each pipe loop is delivering the correct flow rate and the system is performing evenly across all zones before handover. Every commissioning includes pressure testing, thermostat calibration, and a full system check before the floor covering is installed.

Every commissioning includes pressure testing, thermostat calibration, and a full system check before the floor covering is installed.
We carry out underfloor heating repairs and fault finding on wet and electric systems where the system has developed cold spots, circulation problems, thermostat failures, or pipe leaks. Every repair starts with a full system diagnostic before any work is carried out to confirm the cause of the fault before any floor covering is disturbed.
Underfloor heating installed without a proper heat loss calculation, incorrect pipe spacing, or inadequate insulation beneath the floor will not perform correctly regardless of the quality of the components used. Cold spots, uneven heat distribution, and excessive energy consumption are all symptoms of a system that was not designed and specified correctly before installation began. At EBT Build, every underfloor heating installation starts with a full heat loss assessment and floor construction survey before any system is specified, any pipework is laid, or any price is agreed.
We install wet and electric underfloor heating systems across Islington, Angel N1,Camden, Hackney, Haringey, and surrounding North London areas for homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients. Every installation is completed by our own heating engineers with no subcontracting, and every project is priced in writing after a free site survey before any work begins. Where a property requires a correctly sized hot water cylinder to support the new heating system, this is assessed and specified as part of the installation plan.
We begin with a full property heat-loss assessment and system design. Before installing pipe loops beneath the floor, engineers may perform leak detection to confirm the system is safe.

Underfloor heating installation costs in North London vary significantly depending on the system type, floor area, and whether the floor is already open or needs to be lifted. Electric underfloor heating for a standard bathroom typically costs between £300 and £800 including materials and installation. Wet underfloor heating for a single room costs between £1,500 and £3,000 depending on floor area and manifold requirements. Whole property wet system installations typically range from £5,000 to £15,000 or more depending on the number of zones, floor construction, and whether screed or low profile panels are used. EBT Build provides a fully itemised written quote after a free site survey covering heat loss calculation, materials, and labour separately so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Wet underfloor heating uses water based pipe loops connected to a boiler or heat pump to circulate warm water beneath the floor. It is more efficient for whole room or whole property heating and has lower running costs over time but requires more installation work and is best installed when the floor is already open. Electric underfloor heating uses heating mats or loose wire cables beneath the floor covering and is powered directly from the electrical supply. It is faster and cheaper to install, particularly for single rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, but has higher running costs than a wet system for larger areas. EBT Build advises on the most suitable system for each room and property during the site survey before any installation is agreed.
Electric underfloor heating in a single bathroom or kitchen typically takes one to two days including mat installation, thermostat fitting, and electrical connection. Wet underfloor heating for a single room takes two to three days including insulation, pipe laying, manifold connection, and pressure testing. Whole property wet system installations take longer depending on the number of zones, the floor construction across different areas, and whether screed needs to be poured and allowed to cure before the floor covering can be fitted. EBT Build provides a clear day by day programme after the site survey so you have a fixed timeline before any work begins.
In most cases yes, provided the boiler has sufficient output capacity to supply the underfloor heating circuits in addition to any existing radiators or hot water demand. Wet underfloor heating systems operate at lower flow temperatures than radiator systems, typically between 35 and 55 degrees Celsius, which means they work particularly efficiently with modern condensing boilers and heat pumps. A mixing valve is installed at the manifold to reduce the flow temperature from the boiler to the correct level for the underfloor circuits. EBT Build carries out a full boiler capacity assessment during the site survey to confirm compatibility before any wet system installation is agreed.
Yes, in most properties underfloor heating can fully replace radiators when the system is correctly designed for the heat loss of each room. The key requirement is that the floor area available for pipe loops is sufficient to deliver the heat output needed without the system running at excessive flow temperatures. Open plan spaces, extensions, and new build rooms are well suited to underfloor heating as the primary heat source. Older properties with higher heat loss through walls and windows may benefit from a combination of underfloor heating and supplementary radiators in rooms where the floor area alone cannot meet the heat demand. EBT Build calculates heat loss for every room during the survey to confirm whether full radiator replacement is viable before any system is designed or priced.
Yes, in most cases. Retrofit wet underfloor heating systems using low profile insulated panels with pre-routed pipe channels can be installed in existing properties with a floor height increase of as little as 15 to 20mm, which is manageable in most rooms without affecting door clearances or skirting boards significantly. Electric systems have an even lower profile and can typically be installed beneath tiles or stone with minimal height increase. The suitability of a retrofit system depends on the existing floor construction, insulation levels, and the heat source available, all of which are confirmed during the site survey before any system is specified.
