New Build Langport

Underfloor Heating in a New‑Build Bungalow

A self-builder constructing a modern 4‑bedroom bungalow in Langport required an efficient, low‑temperature heating solution suitable for pairing with a heat pump. The aim was to deliver consistent comfort, maximise energy efficiency, and maintain a clean, radiator‑free interior.

System Overview
A full wet underfloor heating (UFH) system was installed across the entire property. Key features included:

• 6 independently controlled heating zones
• Manifold with flow meters and actuators
• Smart thermostats for room‑by‑room control

The system was designed to operate at 35–40°C flow temperature, ideal for heat pump performance.

 Installation Highlights

• Pipework installed with 100–150 mm spacing depending on room demand
• All loops pressure‑tested before screeding
• Manifold positioned centrally for balanced distribution
• System commissioned and integrated with the property’s renewable heating source

Results

• Even, comfortable heat throughout the home
• Improved efficiency compared to traditional radiators
• Lower running costs due to low‑temperature operation
• Clean, modern interior with no wall‑mounted emitters
• Enhanced EPC rating and long‑term property value
