Whole-House Comfort for Hampstead's Period Homes
Hampstead's housing is on a different scale: broad Victorian and Edwardian villas, Georgian houses in the village core, Arts and Crafts homes towards the Heath — many listed, most in conservation areas. Heating five floors of high-ceilinged rooms with radiators means hot metal on period walls and uneven comfort.
Large floor areas give wet UFH a generous emitting surface, so it runs at 35–45°C flow and still holds every room at its own set point. That low-temperature operation is also what makes heat pumps viable for big NW3 houses.
What a High-Spec Hampstead Install Includes
Every system is engineered for the individual house, not picked from a catalogue:
Installed wet UFH runs £85–£120 per square metre — see our London underfloor heating cost guide for how multi-zone projects price, and our underfloor heating page for the engineering. Gas Safe registered, £5M public liability insurance, workmanship guarantee.
Working in NW3: Listed Buildings and Lived-In Houses
Internal heating works generally fall outside planning control, but listed buildings need consent — so we work with your architect or heritage consultant from the start, specifying reversible methods. We install Ambiente manifolds and commission every zone before handover.
Many NW3 installs happen in occupied family homes, so we sequence work floor by floor and protect finishes. See our work on the projects page, then arrange a design survey. We also install across Camden and Islington.
Period NW3 homes frequently still draw water through original lead pipes — we carry out complete lead pipe replacement.
