Discuss Electric V Heated Water in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
water would work out cheaper as the heat can be obtained from solar panels or ground/air source heat pumps, so after the initial outlay they could be 'free' to run. the water pipes are really only an option on new builds tho due to them being laid in the concrete/screed.
another company you could consider is treadwarm.co.uk my mate is a director there and theyre really busy which i guess is a good sign. they're based in chester but have work all over the ukTaking into account many factors, this is what I always advised customers when it came to underfloor heating and the choice between the two main options.
Electric is perfect for existing installations, the cost of installing water is far higher in existing buildings. Unless it's a major refurbishment that is.
Though water underfloor heating systems are more expensive to install, they're always cheaper to run in the long-term. Especially if you use a ground heat source or solar/wind powered system somehow.
I used to recommend Underfloor Heating UK - Underfloor Heating Installers, Suppliers & Servicing for water systems. A very established and reputable company. And I used to sell uHeat myself for electrical systems.
So note that for future reference and you'll always look smart and well informed whilst not getting in too deep with perhaps a water system that you're not used to dealing with. Though tiling on a screed containing a water system can be quite pleasant in comparison to installing UFH, insulation, and then tiling over all of that on electric unless you've done that a couple of times already and you're confident and quick doing so.
