Telford · Shropshire
A floor over underfloor heating has to let heat through and stay flat while it does; 107 of the 122 floors in the range with the attribute are listed as compatible, and the ones that are not are the solid oak boards. In Telford 90% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (38%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
Underfloor Heating in Telford
The Telford and Wrekin district counts 76,509 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a underfloor heating floor is specified here.
Semi-detached houses are 38% of the Telford and Wrekin stock, and the semi's extension is where Telford's underfloor heating is, more often than not, under a kitchen-diner on a new screed. An engineered board or a rigid-vinyl floor is listed for it; the screed dries at roughly a day per millimetre for the first 50 mm, and the system is run through its commissioning cycle before either goes down.
Detached houses are 31% of the homes in Telford and Wrekin, and a detached house in Telford is the one most likely to have underfloor heating through the whole ground floor, on a screed. That is a long floating run or a large glue-down, and the thermal resistance of floor plus underlay is kept under the 0.15 m²K/W the systems are designed around, which rules out thick underlays.

See it on the mapLocal fact sheet
Telford and Wrekin in the 2021 census: 76,509 households, 90% houses, 10% flats.
Assembled out of older settlements under a new-town plan, Telford's housing is mostly detached and semi-detached — close to seven households in ten between them, with very few flats. Brookside, Dawley, Hadley, Leegomery and Donnington are the estates that came out of that period.
Telford combines New Town housing across Wellington, Madeley and Dawley with extensive modern developments at Lawley, Priorslee, Lightmoor and Ketley, plus characterful properties in surrounding villages and the Ironbridge Gorge. The town’s position on the M54, proximity to Birmingham and growing business-park economy drive consistent commuter and family demand.
Much of Telford's estate housing has a suspended ground floor decked in chipboard rather than narrow planks. Those sheets are fixed at their edges, and after a few decades the fixings work loose where the joists are furthest apart.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

The engineered oak, the parquet, the laminate, the rigid vinyl and the porcelain tiles are all listed as compatible. The solid oak boards are not. The commissioning cycle and the screed reading come before any of them.
Yes, engineered oak: every board in the range is listed for it. Trade guidance sets no blanket ban on wood over heating but ties it to the temperature limit, which the system's controls hold.
It is half of the thermal resistance. Floor and underlay together stay within 0.15 m²K/W; an underlay rated for heating is thin for that reason, and its tog value divided by ten gives the figure to add.
On a new-build estate, screw the deck down before anything goes over it: a new floor laid on sheets that move will move with them and be blamed for a noise that was already there. After that the underlay does more than the top layer for how the room sounds and feels.
Yes. We deliver across Telford and Shropshire from our UK warehouse, including the TF1, TF2, TF3, TF4, TF7 and TF8 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Telford address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
