Warm floors, no radiators on the wall, gentle even heat — underfloor heating is the quiet upgrade Maidstone homeowners rarely regret. Plumbstar designs and installs wet (water-fed) underfloor heating in kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and whole-house retrofits, and we repair systems that have stopped working.
Underfloor heating work we cover
- New-build and extension design — pipe layout, manifold, zoning
- Kitchen and bathroom retrofits — low-profile boards where headroom is tight
- Manifold and actuator replacement
- Thermostat and smart-control wiring
- Leak location and pipe repair using thermal imaging
- System flushing when flow rates have dropped
Wet vs. electric — which suits your Maidstone project
Electric mats work well for a single bathroom where you just want warm tiles. For anything larger — a whole ground floor, an open-plan kitchen-diner, an extension — wet underfloor heating is almost always the answer: cheaper to run, works with your boiler or heat pump, and delivers heat evenly across the whole slab.
Design points we get right
- Pipe spacing matched to floor covering (tile, wood, LVT)
- Flow temperature suited to boiler or heat pump
- Manifold placed where servicing is easy in future
- Zones set up to match how you actually use the rooms
- Insulation below the pipes — the single biggest factor in efficiency
We cover Maidstone town and the surrounding villages — Bearsted, Aylesford, Ditton, East Malling, Loose, Boughton Monchelsea, Barming, Allington, Larkfield and Leybourne. Most underfloor heating jobs across ME, TN and CT postcodes are quoted the same week and scheduled within a few working days.
Common questions from Maidstone customers
Can I retrofit UFH in an existing kitchen?
Yes — we use low-profile boards that add around 20mm to the floor build-up, so you rarely need to touch doors.
Does UFH work with my current boiler?
Almost always. We fit a blending valve or dedicated manifold pump to bring the boiler flow temperature down to what UFH needs.
Will it work under wood floors?
Engineered wood is fine with the correct pipe spacing and flow temperature. Solid hardwood is more restrictive — we’ll check the manufacturer’s spec before we start.
