Get an Instant Underfloor Heating Quote Tailored to Your Home: BPC Heat's UFH Kit Builder
There's a point in most home heating projects where things slow right down. You've done the research, you know underfloor heating is what you want, and then you hit the part where you have to actually find out what it's going to cost. That usually means filling in a contact form, waiting a few days for someone to get back to you, and going back and forth before you've got anything close to a real figure.
BPC Heat's UFH Kit Builder skips all of that.
You put in the details of your project floors, room sizes, pipe preferences, controls and you get a full kit breakdown instantly. No waiting, no guesswork, no placeholder pricing that changes three conversations later.
Why Underfloor Heating Needs to Be Sized Properly
A lot of people assume underfloor heating is fairly interchangeable that any system roughly sized for your home will do the job. It doesn't really work that way.
The number of floors, the size of the ground floor, how many zones you want to control independently, the type of pipe and how it's fixed, the floor construction itself all of these affect what components you actually need and how the system performs once it's running. Get it right and you've got even, comfortable heat across every room with minimal running costs. Get it wrong and you're either paying for components you don't need or ending up with a system that can't quite deliver what it should.
That's why BPC Heat built the Kit Builder around your specific project rather than selling fixed kits that sort of fit most situations.
What the UFH Kit Builder Actually Does
It's a free tool on the BPC Heat website that builds a tailored underfloor heating system around the details of your home. Instead of presenting you with a generic off-the-shelf kit, it works through your specific requirements floor by floor, zone by zone and puts together a system designed for your project.
The components come from Robbens Systems, which is worth knowing about if you haven't come across them before. Robbens is a well-regarded name in the UK underfloor heating market, known for the quality of their pipework and control systems. BPC Heat works with Robbens because the products hold up, both in terms of installation and long-term performance.
What the Tool Asks You and Why Each Question Matters
It looks like a lot of questions at first glance, but every single one is there for a reason. Here's what you'll be filling in:
Number of Floors Requiring UFH
Whether you're heating one floor or all four, this sets the scale of the whole system. The tool handles up to four floors, so it works for everything from a single-storey extension to a full new build.
Bathrooms Using UFH
Bathrooms using underfloor heating typically need floor sensors rather than the standard thermostat setup used in other rooms. Flagging this upfront means the right controls get included from the start.
Ground Floor Size (m²)
The total area being heated is the core calculation that determines pipe quantities, manifold sizing, and output capacity. Getting these accurate matters.
Pipe Spacing
Closer pipe spacing delivers more heat output per square metre. The right spacing depends on your floor construction, insulation levels, and the heat source feeding the system. The tool factors this in rather than applying a one-size approach.
Pipe Type
Different pipe materials suit different installations and budgets. This choice affects both the longevity of the system and how it performs over time.
Pipe Fixing Method Tacker Clips or Clip Rail
How the pipe is secured during installation affects fitting time and how neatly the final layout sits in the floor construction. Both methods work well; it often comes down to installer preference and what stage the build is at.
Number of Controllers and Zones
Each zone can be controlled independently, which is useful when different rooms or areas have different heating needs or occupancy patterns. More zones mean more flexibility but also more components the tool accounts for this.
Controller Brand, Type, and Colour
The controls are the part of the system you'll interact with every day, so it makes sense to choose something that fits the way you use your home and looks right in the space. BPC Heat offers options across different brands and styles so you're not stuck with whatever happens to be in the standard kit.
Popular Optional Extras
There are add-ons that make a real difference to how the system runs day to day things that don't always make it into a basic quote but are worth considering at this stage rather than retrofitting later.
Stage of Construction
A new build, a mid-renovation project, and a retrofit in an existing home all have different practical requirements. This question makes sure the recommendation fits where you actually are, not just where you're heading.
What Happens After You Submit
Once you've worked through those questions, the tool generates a kit breakdown for your project. You'll also enter your name, email, phone number, and country, and those details go straight to the BPC Heat sales team along with everything you've specified.
When the team follows up, they already know your project. They can go through the kit with you, check that everything covers what you need, and flag anything that might need adjusting based on your setup. It's a proper conversation from the start, not a preliminary one where you're explaining your project from scratch.
How This Compares to Getting a Traditional UFH Quote
Standard underfloor heating quotes take time. You describe your project to someone who may or may not have the full picture, they go away and work up a quote, it comes back a few days later, and there's often a round or two of changes before it's accurate. If you're talking to multiple suppliers, multiply that by however many you approach.
The Kit Builder cuts that whole process down to a single session. You know what's in the system, you know what it costs, and you've got a sales team picking up your enquiry with everything already in front of them. For anyone in the planning stage of a build or renovation, that's a genuinely useful head start.
Who Should Use It
If you're building a new home and want to get UFH properly specified before the floor goes down, this is exactly the right stage to use it. Same goes if you're mid-renovation and need to lock in heating decisions before the build moves on. Homeowners retrofitting underfloor heating into an existing property will find it useful too the tool handles different construction stages and doesn't assume you're starting from a blank slate.
It's also worth using simply if you're at the research stage and want to understand what a properly specified system for your home actually looks like, and what it costs, before you've committed to anything.
Try It for Yourself
Free to use, no commitment required, and you'll come away with a real system specification for your actual home rather than a ballpark figure pulled from a generic calculator.
