  Does it work?

Yes: it's one of the most efficient forms of heating.

  What happens if I get a leak under the floor?

The pipe is thoroughly tested and has no joints under the floor to leak.

  Will the pipe sludge up like a radiator system?

Highly unlikely, but the system can be easily flushed through.

  How does the running cost compare with a radiator system?

Savings of 20% - 30% can be achieved, and greater savings can be made where there are high ceilings.

  Does it cost much more than a radiator system?

When fitted, there is very little difference.

  How long will it last?

A minimum of 50 years, but, with the temperature of the system, you can expect in excess of 100 years.

  Will the floor get hot?

No, the floor will only reach a maximum of 29 degrees C - only a few degrees above the room temperature.

  If this form of heating is fitted upstairs, will I be subjected to the same creaks and noises experienced with radiators?

No, the system is silent.
