Mat and Stella King own a beautifully converted two storey barn, set in rolling Devon countryside.

Four years ago, their story was very different as they set about developing a dilapidated old barn into a comfortable family home. The reconstruction was project managed by their builder, who had to interpret their wishes of ‘creating a warm and cosy environment’ – he recommended Nu-Heat underfloor heating.

“We had never taken on a project of this scale and felt it was necessary to recruit the help of a professional. Our builder was involved in the decision making process and called on his expertise to make the project a success. We knew, in principle, what we wanted to achieve but felt happier taking the advice of someone in the building industry to guide us in the right direction.”

“The layout and design of the property was largely openplan, which led to our builder’s recommendation of underfloor heating. He felt radiators were not up to the job as there were very few walls to hang radiators and because we had large vaulted areas in parts of the barn.”

“Our builder had suggested Nu-Heat underfloor heating to a number of previous clients, some of whom we were able to speak to. Afterwards, we felt happy with our decision to invest in this form of heating.”

“We called Nu-Heat’s sales team to get information and talk through our project and were immediately struck by their professionalism and ability to explain a relatively new heating method in an easy-to-understand way. Subsequently, we felt even more confident that we had made the right decision and had no qualms placing our order.”

“Nu-Heat took care of the design, creating a bespoke system for our barn. Our builder took care of the installation and we are really happy with the results. Even with our combination of floor coverings, which includes carpet and stone, the heat coverage is wonderful. We are always comfortable and never feel the need
to put on additional layers of clothing to stay warm.”

“Even though the barn is in a fairly exposed location, Nu-Heat underfloor heating manages to heat the property superbly.We are very happy that our three children, Charlie, Sam and Rosie can run around without fear of them bumping into sharp corners from radiators.”

“Would we recommend Nu-Heat underfloor heating? We wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”
