Floor Milling for Underfloor Heating
Professional Floor Milling for Underfloor Heating Across the UK
Looking for expert Floor Milling for Underfloor Heating? We specialise in precision floor milling services that allow you to install modern underfloor heating systems without increasing your floor height or removing existing screed.
Our advanced dust-controlled milling technology cuts accurate channels into existing concrete or screed floors, creating the ideal foundation for energy-efficient underfloor heating systems.
Whether you are renovating a home, upgrading a commercial property, or retrofitting heating into an existing building, our floor milling service provides a fast, clean and cost-effective solution.
What Is Floor Milling for Underfloor Heating?
Floor milling for underfloor heating is a specialist process where precise channels are cut into existing floors to house heating pipes. Instead of installing thick insulation boards or new screed layers, we mill directly into your current floor surface.
This method is ideal for:
- Renovation projects
- Period properties
- Extensions
- Commercial refurbishments
- Properties with restricted floor height
By embedding heating pipes within the existing floor structure, you achieve efficient heat transfer and faster system response times.
Why Choose Floor Milling Instead of Traditional Installation?
Traditional underfloor heating installations often require raising floor levels by 50–75mm. Our floor milling method avoids this entirely.
Key Benefits
- No increase in floor height
- Faster installation times
- Minimal disruption
- Reduced material costs
- Excellent heat output
- Compatible with most floor coverings
Because the heating pipes sit closer to the floor surface, heat distribution is more responsive and efficient compared with deeper screed systems.
Our Floor Milling Process
We use specialist milling machinery designed specifically for Floor Milling for Underfloor Heating.
Step 1 – Floor Assessment
We inspect your existing screed or concrete floor to ensure suitability.
Step 2 – Precision Milling
Channels are cut at consistent depths and spacing to match your heating design.
Step 3 – Pipe Installation
Underfloor heating pipes are installed directly into the milled channels.
Step 4 – System Connection and Testing
The system is pressure tested and connected to your heating source.
Step 5 – Floor Finishing
Once installed, the channels are filled and prepared for your final floor covering.
Suitable Floor Types
Our floor milling service is suitable for:
- Sand and cement screed
- Concrete floors
- Anhydrite screed (subject to assessment)
If you are unsure whether your floor is suitable, we can provide a professional site survey.
