What Makes a Good Underfloor Heating Kit?

The best underfloor heating kits should include the bulk of everything you need to complete your installation in one purchase. When choosing a UFH kit, look for:

  • Complete materials list — Does it include everything you need to complete the installation? A detailed list of materials and installation is a must.
  • Quality products — Kits built around trusted brands will last the test of time. Cheap components can fail quicker and may lead to expensive repairs.
  • Ease of installation — Is this a DIY-friendly kit, or does it require a qualified installer? Good kits come with a detailed installation manual.
  • Size and customisation — Does the kit cover your exact room size, or will you have material left over? Check available size increments before buying.
  • Control compatibility — How is the system controlled? Make sure the kit works with your preferred thermostat setup.

Each UFH kit will have a slightly different component list and setup. Always check the full kit contents and installation manual before purchasing so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Best Wet UFH Kit for Extensions & Single Zones

Complete Wet Underfloor Heating Kits

Our complete wet underfloor heating kits are the go-to choice for single-zone installs; particularly extensions, open-plan rooms and new-build zones. Pipes are stapled to insulation and covered in a screed layer, delivering high heat output with excellent thermal mass. That means the floor stays warm longer, even after the system switches off.

What’s Included

  • UFH Pipe
  • Manifold
  • 16mm Eurocones
  • Manifold Control Pack
  • 60mm Pipe Clips
  • 25m Edge Insulation Strip
  • Pipe Cutters & Reaming Tool
  • Installation Manual

Kit Variations

  • Coverage: 20m² to 240m²
  • Pipe spacing: 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 200mm

Key Features

  • Discounted price – Up to 40% off RRP compared to buying materials individually
  • Flexible pipe spacing — 100mm and 125mm spacing suits heat pump installations; 150mm and 200mm spacing is ideal for boiler systems or well-insulated properties
  • Pre-calculated quantities — Sizes are worked out for you, making purchasing quick and straightforward
  • Trusted components – ESBS mixing valve, Grundfos pump, WRAS approved PERT AL PERT pipe

Things to Consider

These are single-zone kits, designed for one room or area. For multi-room systems, kits can be adapted using thermostats, actuators and a wiring centre but some calculation is needed to ensure the kit fits your layout precisely.

Best for: Extensions, large open-plan rooms, single-zone in-screed installs. Perfect for trade installers wanting a fast, complete checkout.

Best Wet UFH Kit for New Builds (Multi-Room)

There’s no off the shelf kit that perfectly fits a full new-build property with multiple rooms as every project is different. Room sizes, shapes, and distances from the manifold all affect pipe lengths and material quantities.

The best solution for a new build is a custom UFH kit. All you need is a floor plan and we’ll produce a full materials list and quote tailored to your project.

Best Wet UFH Kit for Retrofit — Overlay System

Overlay Wet Underfloor Heating Kits (150mm Pipe Spacing)

What’s Included

  • XPS400 Overlay Boards (150mm pipe spacing, 400kPa compressive strength, 200 micron)
  • UFH Pipe
  • Manifold
  • 16mm Eurocones
  • Manifold Control Pack
  • Pipe Cutters & Reaming Tool
  • Installation Manual

Key Features

  • Low-profile XPS overlay boards — High compressive strength (400kPa) keeps the floor stable underfoot
  • 150mm pipe spacing — Delivers high heat output even at low flow temperatures, making it heat pump compatible

  • Trusted components – ESBS mixing valve, Grundfos pump, WRAS approved PERT AL PERT pipe
