Underfloor Heating
Benefits
Complete Control
Underfloor heating offers the homeowner the ability to set the temperature in individual rooms or zones independently using programmable room thermostats allowing complete control and comfort.
Energy Saving
Underfloor heating is popular as an energy efficient heating option as it
uses low temperature water at around 35-50°C, compared to a radiator system using high temperature water at 70-80°C.
No More Radiators!
Free up your walls! Underfloor heating allows the homeowner complete
freedom when planning or designing the interior layout of a room due to the removal of space-consuming radiators.
Improved Air Quality
As UFH is a form of radiant heating
rather than convection heating it means that harmful bacteria and pollen cannot circulate as freely resulting in an
improved air quality within your home.

Electric or Wet Underfloor Heating: Which is Right for Homes in Derby?
From older homes in Belper to new builds in the city centre, choosing between electric and wet underfloor heating depends mostly on the type of property you want to update.
Electric underfloor heating is often the preferred option for individual rooms, renovations and bathroom projects. Installation is generally quicker and has minimal impact on floor height, making it particularly suitable where existing floor levels must be maintained.
Wet underfloor heating, also known as hydronic underfloor heating, uses warm water circulating through a network of pipes beneath the floor surface. It is typically the most efficient solution for new builds, extensions and whole-home heating systems. When paired with modern heat sources such as air source heat pumps, wet underfloor heating can deliver excellent energy performance and year-round comfort.
At Cozia, we design both systems and will always recommend the solution that best suits your property rather than trying to fit every project into a single approach.

If you’re planning a renovation, extension or new build project and require professional underfloor heating installation in Derby, we’d be happy to discuss your requirements. To have a look at some of the work that we’ve already completed, have a look at some case studies:
How much does underfloor heating cost?
The most honest answer we can give is ‘it depends’. We actually have a blog on why prices vary so much that we’d recommend reading.
To summarize, every property is different, and two quotes that look the same on paper can be thousands of pounds apart.
- Components. Budget pipe and premium pipe can look the same but perform differently (especially over time). Our multilayer PE-RT (Type II) pipe comes with a 50-year product warranty and 10-year consequential damage insurance.
- Design. Pipe spacing, loop lengths and where the manifold sits all affect heat output.
- What’s included. Some price-per-square-metre estimates leave out controls, thermostats and wiring centres, which then turn up as extras at second fix.
- Screed. Anhydrite screeds are often cheaper upfront. At 50mm deep they need around 60 days before floor coverings can go down, and the surface has to be sanded back first. Cement-based flowing screeds cost more but can be ready in about 21 days, which helps when your build programme is tight.
UFH FAQs For Homeowners In Derby
Can you retrofit it without digging up the floor?
Yes. Low-profile systems lay straight over your existing floor, which suits many of Derby’s older terraces and period homes.
Should I go for wet or electric UFH?
Electric suits single rooms like bathrooms. Wet systems are cheaper to run across whole homes, extensions and new builds.
Does it work with a heat pump?
Yes. Underfloor heating runs at low water temperatures, so it’s an ideal partner for the air source heat pumps we fit.
How much will it raise the floor?
Electric mats add a few millimetres. Low-profile wet systems usually add about 15–25mm. We check doors, thresholds and stairs during the survey.
Do I have to get planning permission?
Usually not. It’s internal work, but listed buildings, like some Friar Gate townhouses, may need listed building consent. We’ll advise before work starts.
Underfloor Heating for Derby-Based Renovations, Extensions & New Builds
Every project presents different challenges, so underfloor heating should never be treated as a one-size-fits-all product.
For new build developments in Derby and Derbyshire, underfloor heating can be incorporated into the floor construction from the outset, allowing pipework, insulation and controls to be designed as a complete system. This often delivers the highest levels of efficiency and comfort.
For extensions, underfloor heating provides an excellent way to heat modern open-plan spaces while eliminating the need for wall-mounted radiators. It also gives greater freedom when planning layouts, glazing and furniture positioning.
For renovation projects, you need to consider existing floor levels, insulation standards, and floor finishes. Our team can advise on low-profile systems that minimise disruption while still delivering excellent performance.
Whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading an existing property, we’ll design a system around the way you actually use your home.
