And as I could do with raising it about an inch I was thinking about a
thick insulation inbetween.

Then I started thinking about UFH and there are pre-grooved polystyrene
panels that would be ideal.

So just wondering if anyone has any experience of DIY UFH or any
opinions of UFH in general.

If you can only raise the level by 1", your options are very limited.
There's nowhere near enough room for a wet system,


Ther is more than enough room for a wet system

The pipes are less than an inch diamter. Insulation goes below between
te joists.



I was assuming it was a solid floor. If it's a suspended floor, there's
more chance - but still too tight in my view.


Well it's not directly stated, but as the first post referred to "a
draughty, uneven floor" and a later one to "I can see the danger of
heating the space under the house", I assumed that it was a suspended
floor. I could be wrong though.
