Does underfloor heating take a long time to warm up?

Hydronic underfloor heating works on thermal mass, so it takes longer to reach temperature than radiators — but it also retains heat far longer after switching off. With smart automation, the system's operating schedule is optimised to turn this characteristic into an advantage.

Should pipes be laid under furniture?

At Likya Mechanical, we do not lay pipes beneath kitchen units or fixed wardrobes. This protects the furniture from heat damage and eliminates unnecessary energy consumption.

What floor covering works best with underfloor heating?

Ceramic, marble, and natural stone have the highest thermal conductivity and deliver the best results. That said, underfloor-heating-compatible laminate flooring options can also provide a very comfortable finish.

Is there a risk of pipes bursting or leaking?

The oxygen barrier pipes we use are laid as a single, continuous run with no joints beneath the screed. A pressure test is carried out before screed is poured and the system is left under pressure — giving it a service life equivalent to the building itself.

Does underfloor heating stir up dust?

Quite the opposite. Because it operates at much lower surface temperatures than radiators, it does not drive air circulation that lifts dust. It is the healthiest heating method available for people with asthma or allergies.

All Services

Comfort & Engineering

Underfloor Heating Systems

Dust-free, healthy climate control through uniform heat distribution. Fully integrated solutions with heat pumps and solar energy.

Superior Comfort & Efficiency

Every Corner of Your Home,
At a Perfect Temperature

While conventional radiators dry out the air and overheat upper rooms, underfloor heating works through natural convection — keeping your feet warm and your head cool. At Likya Mechanical, we carry out room-by-room heat loss analyses to determine the optimal modulation ranges for your project.

Thermostats & Automation

Precision room thermostats with mobile access and manifold automation, allowing individual temperature control in every room.

Hydronic & Electric Systems

High-efficiency mechanical installation of wet or dry underfloor heating systems, selected to suit your specific usage requirements.

Integration with Existing Systems

Flawless hydraulic and automation compatibility with heat pumps, solar collectors, or existing boiler systems.

Floor Preparation & Insulation

High-density insulation boards and perimeter edge strips installed to standard, preventing heat loss into the subfloor.

Maintenance & System Flushing

Scheduled maintenance including chemical flushing and corrosion inhibitor treatment to prevent limescale and sludge build-up in pipework.

Engineering & Project Services

Room-by-room heat loss calculations and correct pipe spacing determination using specialist engineering software.

Oxygen Barrier Pipe Technology

EVOH-layer oxygen barrier pipes laid as single continuous runs to protect the system from corrosion and extend its service life.
