Underfloor Heating Installation in Truro

Truro is 40% off-gas in the city itself, with the surrounding rural villages at 80–95% off-gas. The city's varied property stock — Georgian listed terraces, 1930s–50s semis in Kenwyn and Highertown, modern detached homes, and the ambitious new Langarth Garden Village — creates a full spectrum of underfloor heating opportunities.

Langarth Garden Village: UFH at scale

Langarth Garden Village is planned for 3,550 homes north of Truro and represents one of the largest new residential developments in the South West. The design framework specifies low-carbon heating as standard. Heat pump with wet UFH is the default specification for new-build plots — it's the most efficient combination available and delivers the Part L compliance the development requires. We work with housebuilders and self-builders on Langarth plots, providing UFH design, supply, and commissioning as part of the wider renewable energy package.

Retrofitting in Truro's existing housing stock

Truro's Georgian and Victorian terraces in the conservation area are well-suited to ground-floor UFH renovation — particularly if a kitchen refurbishment is already planned. Ground-floor solid floors in these properties are often replaced as part of oversite and damp-proofing work. Adding wet UFH before the screed is laid costs a fraction of what a standalone installation would cost later.

The 1930s–50s semis at Kenwyn, Highertown, and Tregolls have suspended timber ground floors in many cases — ideal for below-joist installation with minimal disruption. Combined with a heat pump, these homes achieve excellent efficiency at low flow temperatures.
