I didnt know you could rent the machine. It is conventional and dpc so would be good to know how would UFH potentially impact that? We'll be knocking down walls and will have new wood work and doors in any case - only issue, if we go with overlay, is shallow stair step! May look a bit odd.

Thank you Roger. We are now weighing up going with an overlay board which is fairly low profile but of course not ideal, but better insulation. Are you going with JK ? - they look really good and have done some major projects inc museums and listed houses. I am very impressed with the cost too. Still torn. I know of someone local who had it done in concrete and is very pleased with it, so I think its certainly an option. And just to say its oil Joth- we live in a rural area.

Thanks. We will keep rads upstairs and intend to zone off the UFH downstairs and run low but consistently. We also have log burners and will have arga for additional heat if needed. The floors downstairs are not cold - despite there being low insulation in the floor. The company is JK - would be good to know if anyone has used or heard of them? We also have PV panels.

In that it won't be efficient enough or will just not work? The company we're using are obviously fairly sure it will, have proven track record and excellent reviews - how will it not work?

Thanks for the replies. Floor has 25mm of celotex, followed by 100mm of concrete and prob some leveller on top. We are considering to embed the pipes (in ground UFH) by grinding in to the concrete. Any thoughts?

Doing a refurb of ground floor of 35yr old build. Knocking down walls opening up some of the back and extending kitchen area in the process. We would like UFH throughout already have some in upstairs bathroom works really well but will need to use different method on ground floor due to not wishing to raise the floor too much.
