Based in Dumbarton - Servicing Scotland
At CMS Surveyors, we provide expert underfloor heating (UFH) installation services across Dunbartonshire, Glasgow, East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, and surrounding areas. Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading your current heating system, or carrying out a renovation, underfloor heating offers a clean, efficient, and modern way to heat your property.
Approved installer of Nu-Heat
We are proud to be an approved installer of Nu-Heat, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of underfloor heating systems. With access to their full product range and technical resources, we can offer tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of your project—whether it’s a single room, a full home, or a commercial space.
Underfloor heating works by distributing heat evenly beneath the floor, eliminating the need for radiators and creating a more comfortable, consistent indoor environment. UFH is energy-efficient, discreet, and compatible with most types of flooring, including tile, engineered wood, vinyl, and even carpet.
Choosing the Right System for Your Property
Every property is different, and that’s why we install a wide range of UFH systems suited to all floor constructions and building types. Here are some of the most common options we provide:
Low-Profile Systems (Overfloor Solutions)
Low-profile UFH systems are ideal for retrofitting in existing properties, particularly during renovations where the floor height needs to be kept to a minimum. These systems are designed to sit directly over existing floors with minimal buildup—some are as thin as 15–18mm. They are quick to install, offer fast heat-up times, and avoid the need for significant excavation or construction. We often recommend these systems in kitchen upgrades, conservatories, or where height restrictions apply.
Screed Systems (For New Builds and Extensions)
Screeded UFH systems are most commonly used in new builds or extensions, where the heating pipes are embedded into a solid layer of screed. This type of system is highly efficient, as the screed acts as a thermal mass, gradually releasing heat and maintaining warmth for longer. While installation takes a little more planning due to drying times, it’s a cost-effective and powerful solution for larger spaces and long-term performance.
Suspended Timber or Joisted Floor Systems
In older properties or those with timber floors, we install specially designed UFH systems that sit between the joists. These can include aluminium spreader plates that enhance heat distribution or pre-routed panels that are fixed between the floorboards. These systems are ideal for upstairs rooms or period homes, and we take care to install them with minimal disruption to the structure of your floor.
No matter your property type or project size, we’ll carry out a full assessment and recommend the most suitable system. We can also advise on floor coverings, insulation requirements, and how to integrate your new UFH with your existing heating setup—or a renewable energy system such as an air source heat pump or solar panels.
Seamless Integration with Renewable Energy
UFH pairs exceptionally well with modern renewable energy systems. We specialise in air source heat pumps and solar panel installations, which when combined with UFH, can significantly reduce your running costs and carbon footprint. These systems operate at lower temperatures, making them the perfect match for underfloor heating. As a result, many of our clients enjoy greater energy efficiency and qualify for available government incentives or grants.

Frequently Asked Questions about Underfloor Heating
-
Is an Air Source Heat Pump the Best Option for Me?There are a few things you will need to take into consideration when deciding if an air source heat pump is right for you. First of all, you will need a place for it. Ideally, you would need a space outside your house where you can fit it to a wall or place it on the ground. They also work more effectively in homes that are well insulated as this would minimise any heat loss. Also have a think about the type of heat source that the air source pump is replacing. It will save you much more money if you are transitioning from a system that is typically expensive such as electric heating, oil or LPG. So if you find yourself looking online for an air source heat pump installer near me, you have come to the right place.
-
How do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?There are 2 main types of Air Source Heat Pumps which are Air-to-Air, and Air-to-Water. Air-to-Water are the most common types of ASHP’s. Here, the pump will absorb the heat from the air outside, and then transfer the heat into water whereas Air-to-Air needs to circulate warm air around your house. If you are looking for funding, check out the Home Energy Scotland funding options on our site.
-
How Efficient Are Air Source Heat Pumps in Winter?There is a common myth that air source heat pumps won’t work in winter – however, they are still functional in the colder weather. It works like a sponge, so heat is absorbed and transferred. Even in temperatures as low as -25 degrees they can still heat up a home. Even if it is -10 degrees and there is snow on the ground, the refrigerant gas still absorbs heat from the ambient air temperature.
-
How Loud Are Air Source Heat Pumps?Most heating products will make a noise of some sort, and ASHP’s is typically around 40-60 decibels when a meter away, however, this will depend on the individual product. As this is classed as a permitted development and no planning permission is required, you can install them as close as 1m to a neighbour or bedroom which gives you an idea how quiet they really are!
-
Will I Qualify for the HES Funding?Air source heat pumps are part of the scheme introduced by the Government. The objective is to reward people who are investing in renewable heating technology and changing from fossil fuels. This means that you could receive financial income for every unit of heat generated.
-
What is the Metering and Monitoring Service Package?A Metering and Monitoring Service Package (MMSP) is a useful way to check how well your heating system is performing. If you have an air source heat pump or a biomass boiler that burns wood pellets, you could be eligible for MMSP. This service package will log data every two minutes and can result in additional financial support of £1610. This payment typically comes at the same time as the quarterly RHI payments. MMSP will use temperature sensors, electricity meters and heat meters to obtain accurate data on your system’s performance.
