Underfloor Heating (UFH)

Underfloor heating (UFH) is growing in popularity both in new construction and in the conservatory market.

Ideally suited for kitchens, bathrooms, conservatories and small extensions with solid floor construction and floor area of up to 15^m2

It is invisible, economical, quiet, there is no maintenance and the heat distribution is even.

Domestic Solar Panel Hot Water Heating Systems

We can install a modern, efficient domestic hot water heating system using the latest solar panel technology.

Rising energy costs, nature and environment concerns

With the increasing cost of gas and electricity, the decline in traditional energy resources and the constant reminder of global warming, domestic energy conservation is now a high priority.

Solar heating for domestic hot water is the now regarded as a leading green technology and is a viable solution in all parts of the UK. The technology is well developed with a large choice of equipment to suit many situations. Solar water heating systems work alongside your conventional water heating system.

How does solar energy provide domestic hot water heating?

In simple terms the sun’s energy is used to heat water in a storage cylinder. The energy collectors are placed on an approximately south facing roof or wall and a fluid is pumped around a sealed system to an indirect heating coil in a hot water cylinder to heat the domestic hot water (very similar to the way a boiler does the same job).

The solar heating works along side your boiler reducing the need for the boiler to heat your domestic hot water. The existing cylinder is exchanged for a cylinder with two heat exchanger coils; one from the boiler in the property and a second from the solar panels.

Grants for Installation of Domestic Solar Hot Water Systems

Under the Low Carbon Building Scheme the UK Government provides a grant to home-owners (amongst others) who want to install microgeneration technologies, including solar hot water systems. Homeowners can apply for a grant of up to £400 to assist in the cost of installing a solar panel hot water system.

Bathrooms and Showers

We can install all types of bathroom suites including specialised designs for the elderly or disabled.

We can also deal with building, plastering, decorating, tiling and carpentry needs to alter, reshape and finish your bathroom to a high standard.

We can also fit extractors with humidistats and time over runs.

Power Shower Specialist

We install showers, shower enclosures and shower screens.

The type of shower that will work best for you depends on your existing water supply system.

You will have either:

• a low pressure or gravity fed system (most common)
• a high pressure or unvented system often found in more recent systems

A low pressure system uses a combination boiler which heats water instantly or a standard boiler and tank for cold water and a copper cylinder to store hot water.

A high pressure system is where the water is taken from the mains and hot water is stored in a high pressure water cylinder.
