What is the panel's opinion on using electric under floor heating like
screwfix sell for conservatories under my shortly to be installed brick
patio?

Why do you want to heat your patio? I can only think of snow clearing...


The running costs are not an issue as such

Lucky you!


but is there any definite reason
not to use this system?



Reasoning is that if you are outside with warm feet you can stand the
temperature of the rest of you better, also it would dry off quickly after
rain, which would be a big advantage for us as we have dogs that run in and
out with wet paws.

During the summer the sun warms the bricks and after sundown they let the
heat go again and feel warm and pleasant for a while, if that was prolonged
by electric heating that would be quite an advantage, I think.



Nothing wrong with it, but do lay insulation underneath. I'd be tempted
to go hot water tho. Cheaper and more robust and safer out doors.
