Kitchen extension with underfloor heating in Hampshire

Written by

Over the course of the year, we’re lucky to see some lovely properties and this private residence in Hampshire was no exception. The owners have built a generous kitchen/diner extension and incorporated underfloor heating into the build.

Our in-house team designed a Mercury Apollo system, insulation is installed beneath the concrete slab and a 4mm Multifoil is laid over the top. MERCURY P16 pipe has been used in this instance, laid in continuous loops, fixed into clamp track with plastic nails and hooks.

The final result is a lovely, neat installation and Heatmiser Slimline thermostats finish the job off nicely.

If you’re looking to incorporate underfloor heating into your new build or property renovation, contact us and we’ll do the rest.

Bournemouth Supersonic 10k

Written by

There’s a couple of achy legs at HQ this week, after Business Development Manager Mark Green and Internal Sales Manager, Simon Frankland ran the annual Bournemouth Supersonic 10K in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, a cause very close to both of them.

The Supersonic 10K is an increasingly popular race distance and is a fantastic flat and fast course that takes in the beautiful sights along Bournemouth beach and the surrounding area. Attended by both amateur and club racers alike, the event is fun and the sunshine was shining for everyone on Sunday.

Between Mark and Simon, the pair raised over £1000 and have already signed up for next year’s Bournemouth half marathon where the course takes in both Boscombe and Bournemouth piers along the coastal route.

Let them eat cake for Macmillan.

On Wednesday 22nd September we hosted our very own Coffee Morning to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. This is one of our favourite fundraising events of the year as we have a few budding bakers amongst us, plus we are all partial to cake!

It seems that coinciding the event with the first episode of The Great British Bake Off had rubbed off, as the team tucked into some wonderful homemade treats such as jam tarts, salted caramel victoria sponge, chocolate brownies and mars bar cake to name a few and we’re delighted to say we raised £130.

Over the three years that we’ve been hosting the event, we have raised £500 that we are pleased to hear could go towards a Macmillan Support worker for a week, helping patients, family members and carers manage the social and practical problems of living with cancer.

The installation of this new system ensures safe access to the ground in adverse weather conditions whilst harnessing natural resources from the environment in a move towards greener heating solutions and significant cost savings on energy bills for the club.

The next stage of the awards for us is to present to the panel of judges, with the winners to be announced in November.

Underfloor heating for the RSPCA.

Written by

We recently completed the installation of a state-of-the-art MERCURY ATLAS underfloor heating system at a new RSPCA rehabilitation centre in Chichester, England. This ambitious project aimed to improve the comfort and well-being of animals residing at the centre until they find their forever homes.

The project is a significant upgrade for the centre, which has been in operation for over 50 years. Our team expertly designed and installed the underfloor heating system throughout all 27 dog kennels, the cattery, and animal pens, ensuring a warm and comfortable environment for the animals.

This is not our first collaboration with the RSPCA. You can find details or our previous project in the care section of our case studies.

UFHN awarded Highly Recommended at H&V News Awards 2020

Written by

UFHN are delighted to have been awarded a Highly Commended recognition for their Bath Abbey project at the H&V News Awards in the category of Small Project Of The Year Under £0.5M.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the awards were held virtually this year, with the presentation to the judges being held just before the national lockdown in March.

The restoration of Bath Abbey is part of the Heritage Lottery Funded ‘Footprint project’, which highlighted a need for an update of the antiquated and inefficient heating system, to a new eco-friendly heating system. Using the unique combination of Bath’s famous thermal springs, underfloor heating and ground source heat pumps, this project is one of the world’s first hot spring heating systems.

Paul Lines, UFHN Managing Director said, “As a proven industry specialist in designing underfloor heating systems into listed and historical buildings, the renovation of Bath Abbey has been one of the most interesting, complex and contractual projects we have ever seen.

We are extremely proud to be recognised as the company that could design, supply and install a solution that was sympathetic to the many stakeholders’ requirements, whilst also delivering an exceptionally cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly system that’s guaranteed for 100 years”.
