Planning a Retrofit UFH through whole house

[JGMAN]

Hello All,

 

I live in a 1st floor maisonette with 4 rooms plus bathroom and kitchen. It has radiators throughout and I'm looking to replace the whole heating system with low profile wet UFH throughout.

 

As I actively live in this property, I'm trying to understand the best way to organise the installation. I can stay at my parents house for a few weeks whilst installation is happening.

 

The part I'm stuck with, is how to deal with the kitchen and bathroom. They will both need replacing as quite old, but paying for UFH, new bathroom and new kitchen all at once will be a large chunk of money I don't yet have. Is is possible to somehow fit UFH into the bathroom/kitchen, leaving the old units in place until I renovate them both?

 

Ideally I'd like the UFH to be done in one visit, rather than half now and half later.

 

Do you have any advice, experience or suggestions that might help me?

 

Thanks

Josh

Maybe use the pre routed chipboard flooring panels?

 

It will add height to your floor and you may need to trim door heights etc. 

 

Have you done any calcs to ensure that just having UFH will give enough heat? 

 

Something like this, other brands available:
