Electric underfloor systems rely on high-resistance electrical cables that consume large amounts of high-tariff electricity, making them expensive to run across large open-plan spaces. Wet (hydronic) underfloor heating circulates heated water from your central boiler or heat pump. Because it operates at low flow temperatures across wide surface areas, running costs are significantly lower, making it the ideal primary heating system for ground-floor extensions and whole-house renovations.
Yes. Traditional underfloor heating requires embedding pipes into deep concrete or liquid screeds during new builds. However, we install advanced low-profile retrofit panels. These high-density insulated or composite boards feature pre-formed routing grooves and aluminium heat-diffusion plates, adding just 15mm to 20mm to existing floor levels without requiring concrete excavation.
Materials with high thermal conductivity, including porcelain tiles, natural stone, ceramic tiling, and polished screeds, transfer heat most rapidly. However, modern engineered timber, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT such as Amtico or Karndean), and low-tog carpets can also be installed successfully provided system flow temperatures are calibrated correctly.
Yes. Hydronic underfloor heating and air source heat pumps provide an ideal combination. Because underfloor heating covers a large surface area, it warms rooms effectively using water temperatures between 35°C and 40°C. This allows a heat pump to operate at its highest Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP), delivering maximum fuel savings.
Our in-house electrical division manages the complete controls installation. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, our electricians wire manifold actuators, fit multi-zone wiring centres, connect motorised valves, and configure smart room thermostats (such as Heatmiser or Salus systems) to allow independent room-by-room smartphone control.
Before screed is poured or floating floorboards are laid, our engineers subject the entire pipe network to a sustained hydraulic pressure test at 6 bar for a minimum of 24 hours. The system remains pressurised during screed installation, allowing instant verification that no pipework has been punctured or compromised.

Sam responded promptly to my air con enquiry and even visited me at short notice to firm up the scope. We were fitted in quickly, and Dave managed the job well, with the team carrying out a nice tidy install. Would definitely use again in the future and I will certainly recommend to others.
The engineers were very professional and carried out the required work in a very efficient manner. I'd definitely use them again and recommend then to everyone.
After struggling with underfloor heating that had been left in a broken state by a previous company, my dad endured almost no heating throughout the winter. It was a frustrating and uncomfortable situation until Sam from Newton Electrical and Mechanical came to the rescue. Sam was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He quickly identified the issues, including faulty wiring and broken pumps, and thoroughly cleaned the entire system. Within just two weeks, the system was completely fixed and working perfectly. The level of care, expertise, and efficiency from Newton Electrical and Mechanical was outstanding. I can’t thank them enough for the difference they made. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and skilled professionals for their heating or electrical needs.
Went above and beyond and did everything they said they would, on time, as quoted.
We used Newton Electrical and Mechanical for all of our electrical and plumbing work in a large home renovation project and I would thoroughly recommend them. Sam Dave and colleagues have all been knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and communicative and take pride in completing work to a high standard, a pleasure to work with. As with any large project dealing with multiple trades, some things didn’t quite go to plan, but I found that any issues that Newton Electrical could help with were resolved quickly and without fuss. It’s very hard to find tradespeople you can trust, but if you’re reading this, congrats- you’ve just found some.
Used NEM on 3 large projects in the last 2 years and I would definitely use them again.
