The go-to local team for underfloor heating installation
At Plumbox, we install warm-water underfloor heating systems across Cambridge and the surrounding areas. From complete systems for new builds and extensions to low-profile retrofit solutions for existing homes, we can recommend an approach that works with your property and heating system.
Our team can install underfloor heating over suitable solid floors or between timber joists, connect it to compatible boilers or heat pumps and set up manifolds, zones and heating controls to give you better control over individual areas of your home.
Whether underfloor heating is part of a larger renovation or you are planning a completely new heating system, we can help you choose a practical solution for your property.
Warm-water underfloor heating distributes heat across a larger floor area, helping to provide consistent warmth throughout the room without relying entirely on wall-mounted radiators.
Suitable for new and existing homes
We can install underfloor heating as part of new builds, extensions and renovations, as well as retrofit low-profile systems designed for suitable existing floors.
Boilers and heat pumps
Underfloor heating can be connected to suitable boilers or heat pumps. We can also create mixed systems combining underfloor heating in some areas with radiators elsewhere in the property.
Cambridge based
We install underfloor heating systems throughout Cambridge and the surrounding areas, helping homeowners choose heating solutions suited to their property, floor construction and existing heating system.
Planning underfloor heating for your Cambridge home?
Every property is different, so the best underfloor heating system will depend on the building, floor construction and heat source. Our underfloor heating services include:
New warm-water underfloor heating installations
Retrofit underfloor heating
Low-profile underfloor heating systems
Underfloor heating for new builds
Underfloor heating for extensions and renovations
Systems installed over suitable solid floors
Systems installed between timber joists
Connections to suitable boilers
Connections to suitable heat pumps
Mixed underfloor heating and radiator systems
Underfloor heating manifolds
Individual heating zones
Thermostats and heating controls
Underfloor heating manifold servicing
A warm-water underfloor heating system uses pipework beneath the floor to circulate heated water around the room. The pipework is normally divided into different circuits connected to a central manifold, allowing different parts of the property to be controlled independently.
We can install the pipework, manifold and controls and connect the system to a suitable existing or new heating source. Where underfloor heating is only being installed in part of the property, it can also work alongside traditional radiators elsewhere in the home.
Whether your boiler has broken down or you need to replace an existing system, make sure you make the best choice for your home and your wallet.

Underfloor heating made simple
Choosing the right underfloor heating system starts with understanding how your property is constructed and how you intend to use the space.
For new builds and major renovations, underfloor heating can usually be incorporated into the floor construction from the outset. This gives more flexibility when planning the pipework, heating zones and finished floor levels.
Existing properties can also benefit from underfloor heating. Low-profile retrofit systems can be installed over suitable existing solid floors, while other systems can be fitted between timber joists depending on the construction of the property.
The heat source is another important consideration. We can connect suitable underfloor heating systems to boilers or heat pumps and create mixed heating systems where underfloor heating is used in some rooms and radiators remain in others.
Once installed, manifolds, thermostats and zoning controls can give you control over different areas of the property. Plumbox can also provide an underfloor heating manifold service to help keep this important part of the system properly maintained.
Yes. Plumbox installs warm-water underfloor heating systems in Cambridge and the surrounding areas for new builds, extensions, renovations and suitable existing homes.
What type of underfloor heating do you install?
We install warm-water, or wet, underfloor heating systems. Heated water circulates through pipework beneath the floor, providing warmth across the floor area.
Can underfloor heating be fitted in an existing house?
Yes. Depending on the property and floor construction, retrofit and low-profile underfloor heating systems can be installed in existing homes. We can assess the property and recommend a suitable approach.
Can underfloor heating be installed over a solid floor?
Yes. Suitable underfloor heating systems can be fitted over solid floors. Low-profile systems can be particularly useful for retrofit projects where keeping additional floor height to a minimum is important.
Can underfloor heating be installed between timber joists?
Yes. Warm-water underfloor heating can be installed between suitable timber joists, making it an option for properties with suspended timber floors as well as solid floor construction.
Can underfloor heating work with a boiler or heat pump?
Yes. Warm-water underfloor heating can be connected to a suitable boiler or heat pump. We can review your heating system and advise how underfloor heating can be incorporated into the property.
Can I combine underfloor heating with radiators?
Yes. Underfloor heating and radiators can be combined within the same property. For example, you may choose underfloor heating throughout a new kitchen or ground-floor extension while retaining radiators elsewhere.
Can different rooms have separate underfloor heating controls?
Yes. Underfloor heating systems can be divided into separate zones using the manifold, thermostats and heating controls, allowing different areas of the property to be managed independently.
Do you service underfloor heating manifolds?
Yes. Plumbox offers an Underfloor Heating Manifold Service. The manifold is an important part of a warm-water underfloor heating system as it distributes water between the different heating circuits.
