Extend the Life of Your Underfloor Heating with Annual Servicing

Underfloor heating is a reliable and energy-efficient way to warm your home or commercial space — but like any heating system, it performs best when regularly maintained.

At Lucas Plumbing & Heating Ltd, we offer professional underfloor heating servicing across Reading, Wokingham, and surrounding Berkshire areas. Whether you have a water-based or electric system, regular servicing ensures optimal performance, prevents costly breakdowns, and protects your investment.

  • Identify faults before they turn into expensive repairs
  • Maintain manufacturer warranty requirements
