Wouldnt use electric UFH unless i planned to move within next ten years - as i have been told - (by wet UFH manufacturers so there could be a bit of bias in it) that electric UFH has a shelf life of approx 10 yrs due to the nature of relying on electric to heat a cable that will eventually break down in the same way that ordinary electric cable does.

Whats the sparkies view?

Yea, underfloor heating is an element after all, all elements give up after a while.

wet underfloor can be used as central heating but only seen electric as a background under tiles in kitchens bathrooms conservatorys etc.

as lec said it is an element and it is bound to go sooner or later

Thanks for the replies,
The house is out in the sticks so has no gas supply and is in really good condition so I dont really fancy ripping up floors etc. to fit all the pipework for oil fired central heating so looks like I'll have to put up with the storage heaters for the time being.

Unless their are any other options not mentioned here?

We had Storage when moved here two years ago. Got Oil fired and costs about 1/4 of old bill to run per year and that's including running the AGA 24/7/365. If you get a good heating specialist they can do a combi boiler for the hot water and heating, and will route the pipework via roof cavities or can chase it in if necessary. Drops to rads can be hidden behind door openings,  frames etc. and if you go for fancy rads like we did they can run the pipes down behind the rad to hide it. Worked well. Spend plenty of time coming up with crafty ways to hide the pipe runs and it'll pay off.

get a good firm in, specify when they come to survey that you want the floors to be lifted and replaced carefully, aware that this takes time and except the additional costs - no reason why you cant have a good CH install
