A smarter way to heat your home
Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient and luxurious heating solutions available for homes - and it’s becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners across Essex. Say goodbye to bulky radiators taking up wall space and hello to an even, comfortable warmth that rises naturally from the floor up.
At MJW Services, we design and install underfloor heating systems tailored to your home, your lifestyle and your budget - ensuring you get the most efficient and effective solution possible.
Wet vs Electric - Which is right for you?
There are two main types of underfloor heating and choosing the right one depends on your property and how it’s being used:
Wet Underfloor Heating (Water-Fed)
Pipes are installed beneath the floor and connected to your boiler or heat pump, circulating warm water to heat the room. Wet systems are highly efficient for whole-home heating and are particularly cost-effective when paired with a heat pump or modern condensing boiler. Ideal for new builds, extensions and full renovations.
Electric Underfloor Heating
A network of heating cables or mats is installed beneath the floor covering. Electric systems are quicker and easier to install, making them a great option for smaller spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens or single rooms. Lower installation cost but slightly higher running costs than wet systems.
Not sure which is right for your home? MJW will assess your property and give you clear, honest advice on the best option for your needs and budget - no jargon, no unnecessary upselling.
Works with all floor types
Underfloor heating is compatible with a wide range of floor coverings including:
Tiles & stone
Engineered wood
Laminate
Vinyl & LVT
