Hi all
I'm currently getting a house extension and was considering making a change to add underfloor heating (wet / not electric) into the specification. The floor slab has not yet been cast in the extension part (approx 41sqm) but the area in the existing house I'd also like it added (approx 24sqm) has an existing slab. The extension extends the existing area mentioned above to make one large room of approx 65sqm
From what I can gather, to do this without having differening floor levels between the rooms with / without underfloor heating, I'd need to break out the existing slab and recast at the correct level.
So I guess my question is two-fold
1 - Do you think it's worth making this change?
2 - How much would I expect to be paying for sorting out the existing slabs (breaking down / recasting to a lower level? I'm based in the North West.
3 - Would you consider having the room "split"? I.E the extension part having underfloor heating with the existing part just having radiators.
I'll obviously be talking to my builder but just thought I'd get a good idea of the work myself first.
Thanks all
