Underfloor Heating Installation Norfolk | Great Moulton

EPH Services completed underfloor heating installation Norfolk in a new-build bungalow in Great Moulton, with the system installed and pressure tested, designed to work perfectly with the air source heat pump we’ll be installing shortly. The low-temperature design makes this installation ideal for renewable heating technology.

Underfloor heating installation Norfolk: The installation in Great Moulton

Our team—Gary and Rhys—completed the installation and pressure testing of this underfloor heating system in a new-build bungalow in Great Moulton, Norfolk. The system has been designed specifically as a low-temperature heating solution, making it the perfect partner for the air source heat pump we’ll be fitting in the coming weeks.

The pipes have been laid in a careful spiral pattern across the floor, secured to the insulation layer and ready for screeding. Each loop has been pressure tested to ensure there are no leaks before the floor is laid over the top—a crucial step that prevents costly problems later.

Why underfloor heating works brilliantly with heat pumps

Underfloor heating systems run at much lower temperatures than traditional radiators—typically between 35°C and 45°C compared to 60°C or higher. That’s exactly what air source heat pumps in Norfolk are designed for. Heat pumps are most efficient when they don’t have to work hard to raise water temperature, which makes underfloor heating the ideal emitter.

The large surface area of the floor means heat is distributed gently and evenly across the whole room. There are no cold spots, no radiators taking up wall space, and the system responds beautifully to the steady, lower-temperature output of a heat pump.

Pressure testing and quality assurance

Once all the pipes were laid, we pressure tested the entire system to check for leaks and ensure every connection is watertight. This is a non-negotiable step in any professional underfloor heating installation in Norfolk—it gives total peace of mind before the screed goes down.

The system will remain pressurised during the screed pour and drying period, so any potential issues are caught early. As you can see from the photos, our company mascot Nibs the Spaniel was on-site to supervise—and gave the installation his full approval!

What happens next

With the underfloor heating installed and tested, the next stage is for the screed to be laid over the pipes. Once that’s cured, we’ll return to complete the air source heat pump installation, connect the system to the manifolds, and commission everything together.

The result will be a highly efficient, low-carbon heating system that’s cheaper to run than a traditional gas or oil boiler and eligible for support under the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which offers grants of up to £7,500 towards heat pump installations.

Frequently asked questions

Can underfloor heating be used with an air source heat pump?

Yes—underfloor heating is the ideal partner for an air source heat pump. It operates at lower temperatures (35–45°C), which is exactly where heat pumps are most efficient, delivering better performance and lower running costs than radiator systems.

How long does underfloor heating installation take in a new build?

In a typical new-build bungalow, laying and pressure testing the underfloor heating pipework usually takes one to two days, depending on the floor area and layout. The screed then needs time to cure before the system can be commissioned.

Do you pressure test underfloor heating before screeding?

Absolutely. We pressure test every underfloor heating system before screed is poured and keep it under pressure during the screed pour and curing period. This ensures any leaks are found early, before they become expensive problems.
