UFH Milling
Professional UFH Milling Services Across the United Kingdom
Welcome to a leading provider of UFH Milling services, delivering precise, efficient and low-disruption underfloor heating installation solutions throughout the United Kingdom.
UFH Milling (Underfloor Heating Milling) is an advanced retrofit method that allows heating pipes to be installed directly into existing screed or concrete floors — without raising floor levels or removing the current subfloor.
Using specialist dust-controlled machinery, we create accurate channels in your floor ready to accommodate underfloor heating pipework. The result is a modern, energy-efficient heating system installed quickly and cleanly.
What Is UFH Milling?
UFH Milling is a process where precision grooves are cut into an existing screed or concrete slab. These grooves house underfloor heating pipes, which are then connected to your boiler or heat pump system.
Unlike traditional underfloor heating installations, UFH Milling:
- Does not significantly increase floor height
- Avoids the need for thick overlay systems
- Reduces disruption during renovation projects
- Eliminates lengthy screed drying times
This makes it particularly suitable for retrofit projects, refurbishments and properties with restricted ceiling heights.
Why Choose UFH Milling?
UFH Milling has become one of the most popular retrofit heating solutions in the UK due to its efficiency and practicality.
Key Benefits of UFH Milling
- No increase in finished floor level
- Faster installation compared to traditional systems
- Minimal disruption to your home or premises
- Improved heat response times
- Compatible with most floor finishes
- Lower running temperatures for improved efficiency
Because the pipework sits closer to the floor surface, heat transfers more effectively into the room, creating a comfortable and evenly distributed warmth.

Our UFH Milling Process
1. Floor Survey and Assessment
We assess your existing screed or concrete floor to ensure it is suitable for milling.
2. Precision Milling
Using specialist machinery with integrated dust extraction, we cut channels to precise depths and spacing in accordance with the heating design.
3. Pipe Installation
Underfloor heating pipes are securely fitted into the milled channels.
4. Pressure Testing and Connection
The system is pressure tested and connected to your heat source.
5. Floor Preparation
The channels are filled and prepared for your chosen floor covering.
Compatible Floor Types
UFH Milling is typically suitable for:
- Sand and cement screed
- Concrete subfloors
- Selected anhydrite screeds (subject to inspection)
If you are unsure whether your floor is suitable, we can arrange a professional site visit.
Energy-Efficient Heating with UFH Milling
UFH Milling systems operate at lower flow temperatures than traditional radiator systems. This improves efficiency and makes them ideal for use with:
- Air source heat pumps
- Ground source heat pumps
- Modern condensing boilers
Lower operating temperatures can reduce energy consumption while maintaining consistent and comfortable room temperatures.
UFH Milling for Retrofit Projects
One of the main advantages of UFH Milling is its suitability for retrofit installations. Instead of removing existing floors or significantly altering the structure, we work directly within your current screed.
This is especially beneficial where:
- Ceiling heights are limited
- Floor build-up must remain unchanged
- Renovation timescales are tight
- Disruption needs to be minimised
