Floor Milling with Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating milling

If you would like underfloor heating milling on your property, great news, you can have it, and we’re the team to install it for you. From designing the system to installing and commissioning, we cover it all. 

When people are updating or extending their homes, they often want underfloor heating installed. When having underfloor heating in an extension it is fairly easy to install, as the pipes are clipped to the celotex (insulation) and screeded over the top, encapsulating the pipes within the screed.

This system works very well when the extension is a separate room and more often than not people would just have underfloor heating in their extension and radiators throughout the rest of the ground floor, but given the option and if the budget allowed they would probably all go for underfloor heating throughout. 

However, more and more people are choosing open plan living, requiring the old and the new to have underfloor heating, so the whole floor is warm, rather than just the new extension. This comes with an array of questions about underfloor heating systems. To shed some light on the subject and make your decision a little easier here are some frequently asked questions and the answers. 

You can install an overlay board, which has channels already set into it to take the pipe. The problem here is that you will probably end up raising the whole floor by at least 20mm, which in turn means getting a carpenter to remove all the doors and trim them down. You may also need him to remove all the skirting boards to avoid having to use trim to hide the gap between the skirting board and the flooring. This would obviously add to the expense of the project.

We can cut channels into your existing screed with our milling machine. We simply mark out where we are going to put the pipes, then fire up the milling machine and start cutting the channels. 

Once all of the floor milling has been completed, we simply lay the pipe into the channels to and from the manifold.

When all pipe is laid we pressure test and then pour an adhesive over the top of the pipes as if nothing has ever happened. 

There is no need to cut any doors and skirting boards, saving time and money.
