Hi, I am considering making a heated setting for my clines outside. The project is in Nottingham, UK. What system do you use for heating the bench and will it work outdoors? Many thanks!

We have got porcelain flooring throughout. I love the heating system but in hindsight would probably have kept it all the same type! Probably overboard but I can understand the benefits of both. With the U.K. weather it’s just really hard to predict and put it on hours before in anticipation of when it’s going to get cold so the overboard feels a bit. we used wundertrade and yes they pretty good! our builder installed it all though good luck! Either way you won’t go wrong but just be aware of the change in behaviour and anticipating when the heating should go on. once you e for your thermostats figured out it’s great

Hi Dominic, I think you can install ufh to both areas. if you are laying UFH in the new extension you will need to have the insulation within the ground slab to comply with Building regs. The hearing pipes will e run to a manifold that controls the zones that are created. based on the size of the floor area you quoted you will probably have 3 or four zones linked to provide an even heat to the area. the remaining areas of your home can have a different system provided- there are options that can be run under existing floor boards on a preformed plate system that will avoid a loss in ceiling height. if you check the Rehau UFH system it can provide both of the types of system. there are many cheaper options for the UFH, but if you start with this manufacturer you can then see the others having compared a high end system with the others on the market. they have a very comprehensive information available online and you can check to ensure you choose the system that works. best Rowland

I'd opt for unvented, you don't have the need for a large tank as the hot water is mains fed so its better than a conventional system, you don't usually have the old feed and expansion small tank in the attic anymore as the system is slightly pressurized in most systems now. Even with electric showers, i'd have the main bathroom fitted with a decent non-electric shower and with any kids showers i'd have the showers with thermostatic valves for safety. The downside to a combi as it only raises the water temperature verses flow so the colder the water is ie in winter, the slower/less pressure you can run the water, which is also one of the downsides to electric showers. There are a few combi's that have a small hot water cylinder in built but with 4 bathrooms to feed it would soon be used up. If you're worried about your existing pipework not being able to withstand any pressure then i'd get it checked now before any work is done instead of waiting for signs of water damage when all the work has been carried out.

From what I gather ASHP produce a lower temperature than a gas central heating boiler….. this means that people with radiators sometimes need bigger radiators but since underfloor heating requires a lower temperature the ASHP people will likely tell you you are fine. As I understand it a tank of hot water is sometimes less hot too.
