Why diagnose a boiler fault before fitting parts?

Does the floor covering affect underfloor heating?

Pipe loops under the floor carry warm water at a lower temperature than radiators need. Every loop feeds back to a manifold, which lets each room run as its own zone. Heating Services ltd designs and fits it, and repairs systems already in place.
