no hessitation in recommending them, have used them before & will do again
A lot of people feel safer with high street brands of UFH but the profit markup on them is outrageous! As a highly qualified industrial engineer I was delighted with the quality and design of the Ambient heating mat which I appraised surpasses the popular 'shop' brands. UFH is NOT Black Magic although you would think so with what some tilers try to charge, done carefully with good components its not that hard. I used a 200w/m mat in a large conservatory with 35mm of Ambients insulation board underneath (floor level was designed to take this much into account during the build) The system makes the room fully usable all year round as the only and primary heat source. the digital controller also from Ambient is scheduled to heat when the room will be used automatically keeping the running cost reasonable. All parts of the system were delivered by a helpful delivery driver in perfect condition. 18 months on all is fine and I expect the system to gives 10's of years of service. Only hitch was the touch screen thermostat had an annoying beeper that could not be turned off and activated if the frost protection kicked in or the floor overshot target temperature. I simply desoldered it - sorted!
I have just ordered two replacement thermostat / timers for my kitchen and dining room underfloor systems. They were both installed around 4 years ago and I had been very happy with the ease of installation and the efficiency of operation. The failure of both timers just a year out of warranty is therefore somewhat disappointing!
We have been using the AUBE TH series thermostats for around nine years now and as with all things electronic occasional failures can occur.
Dating back four years or more these thermostats would have been guaranteed for a period of two years but as a company we would still honour whatever the current Honeywell period might be, this is currently three years.
Outside of this guarantee period we offer a discounted price to previous customers although we have no mechanism available to recover compensation from Honeywell.
I would urge anybody experiencing problems outside of the manufacturers guarantee periods to give us a call, we may be able to help.

very quick delivery was initally worried expected much bigger box but no need everything was present,liked the idea of spare sensor for thermostat saving potential problems if failure, only thing is dont do as I did and fit themostst too high 6 foot as its much clearer if you are looking down on it by a foot rather than up but other than that scarily easy to instal would like a tad warmer but we have 15 foot ceilings so takes some heating.
My customer requested under-tile heating to the bathroom I was planning to install for him. I Googled around for different suppliers and liked the look of Ambient flooring's website as well as the prices. There seemed to be plenty of advice available which was a great help as I hadn't ever installed under-floor heating. I install kitchen & bathrooms for a living and am quite handy at most things so was quite confident.
The order process was straight forward and my goods arrived promptly, well packaged and as ordered.
Installation was a little tricky and had to keep refering to the instructions but I managed without any major problems.
My customer is happy with the finished job and the heating is working well so far. The supplied electronic programmer is well designed and looks good.
It's the first time I've used this company but I'm sure I'll be using Ambient again in the future.
Ordered online on Tuesday evening, arrived Thursday morning. Quick service and product meets my needs.
That about sums it up really. I wanted some advice on insulation boards. I rang Dave GOOSE he wasn't available at that time but he rang back shortly afterwards, answered my query and gave me all the advice I needed. Very impressive
Having placed the order just before lunch I was surprised to have the delivery man banging on the door at 8 o'clock the following morning. All items as described were in the box and therefore the installation went exactly as planned. Thank you
Good advice before buying, Goods arrived timeouslyand as described.
Good technical advice on installation queries. Good aftersales service - even years after supply and provision of replacement parts
As a trade installer I have installed many systems from Ambient. I have always been encouraged by their helpful service, and they have always bent over backwards to help resolve any issues (never with the product, only the installer!!)
I would thoroughly recommend them for price, service and product quality. Much better value than Warm-up for example, but with every bit as good a product!
As first time customers to underfloor heating our project was a daunting one. The staff at Ambient offered excellent service and advice everything was delivered quickly and proved easy to install and operate. The system has proved to be very efficient and offers a wonderful, warm comforting feeling to the granite tile, which otherwise would be cold and harsh. I would strongly recommend this company for price, expertise and efficiency.
Ambient staff were helpful in providing advice about my proposed underfloor heating project. The order was duly placed and delivery took place promptly as promised. Product quality seems good and the new controller offers good flexibilty and is very neat and simple to operate.
Under-tile heating kit. Got what I wanted and with speedy delivery. Haven't installed yet but looking good!
very pleased with under floor heating. extreamly good product. bit worried about the insulation for laying under tiles, seems very soft, would have prefered a denser product as it sounds a bit hollow when you tap the tiles compaired to laying directly onto the screed, but saying that it has beed layed for more than a month and seems good, so maybe i'm just old fassioned and expected it to be more of a dense board. if i layed another floor i would go for the more expensive insulation boards just for piece of mind.
Not sure which insulation material was fitted on this occasion but all products supplied by us are selected and tested for suitability.
Marmox - highest spec cement coated reinforced boards for use beneath tile heating systems, can be bonded/fixed to either concrete or timber floors and used with mat or cable heating systems.
Blueboard - a non coated high comp strength XPS board from Dow, use beneath tile heating systems, can be bonded on to solid concrete/screed floors only and used with heating mats. Bond down with a rapid set flexible tile adhesive.
Depron - a soft closed cell foam exclusively for use with Thermolam / Warmup foil heater systems beneath laminate/wood floating floors. Loose laid and excellent acoustic properties.
All insulation types must be fitted according to manufacturers instructions.
We do provide specifications and product info on our website but always feel free to ask if unsure.
great service, next day FREE delivery was promised and it turned up as underfloor heating said it would. Great price, you get exactly what is described. Would I buy from this company again? Definitely.
Highly recommended supplier of a quality underfloor heating product. Excellent customer service & delivery.
Clear and easy site, prcing is very competitive and the quality of the products I have bought has been very good. Reliable and very fast delivery is what will keep me returning as a customer.
I found this product online, the price was good and it was delivered exactly when they said it would be. I havent installed it yet so cant comment on the product itself but the service was excellent.
Information on the website was really useful and kit came complete with everything needed.
Very helpful and willing to offer advice, keen prices, and very fast delivery. Any questions are always handled promptly.
I would recommend you use Ambient Underfloor Heating for any accessories required because they run a really efficient service.(e.g. My ordered part arrived within 24HRS.)
From delivery to working product very impressed
if carlsberg did underfloor heating this is what the company would be like. like a muppet i ordered the conservatory size rather than floor size. arrived next day then i discovered my error no problem one phone call and it was sorted.probably the best underfloor heating company in the world!!
arrived very quickly unfortunately exact size of heating mat unavailable
Initially everything was fine, but when laying the u/f heating cable after 2-3 runs the tape was unsticking and cable wouldn't stay in position, this is after the primer had approx 24 hrs to dry, as time for me was limited due to Christmas period I had to buy a different heating kit and the tape supplied was more than strong enough, with this in mind I was hoping to get a refund on the cable, which has been declined because it has been taken out of the wrapping and uncoiled??????
Unfortunately a cable or mat can't be refunded if it has been partially fitted.
The adhesive tapes we supply with our cable kits are a high tack product so you should certainly expect good adhesion to a dry floor.
If any future customers experience similar issues or have any concerns please call technical support (freephone) 0800 783 5366
Did everything they could to help, ( despite being shut over xmas .. bah humbug! ) and a morning delivery came by 7:50 in the morning!
Good range,top quality items, great prices, and discount / offer extended to full order,
All super!!

A very helpful and knowledgeable team, orders dispatched quickly and correctly at a competitive price - and they are a local company.
I use them every time for my UFH supplies.
Could not fault anything with this company. Just Brilliant.
I found dealing with Ambient to be a hassle free experience with extremely helpful staff and a great efficient service.
I have yet to install the flooring so have no comment as to the product... but if it is as good and as efficient as the company staff then I will not have any complaints!
Used them before and would definitely use them again
An all-round very good service.
I ordered the wrong size of mat but was easily able to get the right size and was refunded in full for the original. I was also given fitting advic over the phone
I also mislaid the English instructions for the thermostat and was quickly able to download a copy.
Great stuff... would use them again!
Simple to use website, instructive and detailed items. Have used before would recommend .
Have used many underfloor systems before ,ambient beat them on price , service and ease of installation ,client thrilled with speed of installation and heating of floor
Just bought several sets of underfloor heating from Ambient; looked at several systems over last few months and always went back to Ambient website; have talked to David a few times for advice, he's always very helpfull and knowledgable.
Got the items delivered on the day i planned, have installed the touchscreen TR8100 controllers and they are better than expected.
Have told a few friends who are looking at underfloor heating about website, as found easy to use, good prices and very helpfull team.
Great website and helpful, easy to understand information. I was impressed with a similar product in Homebase and after searching online found Ambient Underfloor Heating's website. Their prices were more competitive and included a better thermostat.
Delivery was quick and packaging good.
I'd definitely use this company again.
very good no nonsense, thanks v much.
My job was not straightforward because it combined a well insulated new build extension and a 40 year old original as part of the same space. In addition it was to be overlayed with a vinyl tile,
Within minutes of my call to Ambient Underfloor Heating they had given me all the guidance I needed and then subsequently emailed technical data supporting their advice.
Overall they responded quickly and gave advice in clear concise terms.
Truly an amazing product at an amazing price. Fast delivery. Possibily the best one of the best products I've ever bought.
