Gaia to install more underfl oor heating as new UK government confi rms housing targets
U
nderfl oor heating experts – Gaia – are expecting to install even more underfl oor heating in new-build developments as
the new Chancellor announces plans to “get Britain building again.” Following Labour’s win at the UK general
election, Starmer’s government is reintroducing housebuilding targets, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiling their plan to build 1.5 million homes in England over the next fi ve years. With underfl oor heating already an
increasingly popular choice for new-builds, these changes will inevitably create more opportunities for underfl oor heating installations. “With 1.5 million new-build homes on
the way, we’re predicting that even more developers will choose to install underfl oor heating – particularly as these homes will be built in adherence with recently changed Part L regulations and the upcoming Future Homes Standard,” states Steven Rooney, director of Gaia Underfl oor Heating. Part L Building Regulations outline that
all new-build homes must produce 31% fewer carbon emissions than was previously acceptable, to help meet the UK’s 2050 Net Zero targets. Industry experts have identifi ed underfl oor
heating as a key solution to low carbon heating for future new-build homes, due to its energy

effi ciency and low operating temperature. “Underfl oor heating is up to 30% more
energy effi cient than radiators! Plus, it can be paired with heat pumps, another low carbon heating solution – making it the ideal option for the proposed new-build homes,” adds Steven. Gaia have extensive experience designing, supplying and installing underfl oor heating for large-scale residential projects. They have worked with a number of developers across the UK, including Taylor
Wimpey, Berkeley Group and Hambridge Homes. “We’re proud to have worked with so many leading developers. These housebuilding targets will certainly be positive news for them – and for the underfl oor heating market too. We’re looking forward to continuing to be the underfl oor heating partner of choice as Britain gets building again!” concludes Steven.
