Default Underfloor heating retrofit questions

HI,

I was wondering about retro-fitting underfloor heating to my house and
am interested to know peoples opinions about the practicality of
this ? The house was built in 1980 and has a concrete floor
downstairs and normal chipboard on beams for the top floor. Is it a
practila matter to chip away channels in the concrete and run the
pipes in those then re-screed over the top ? Any ideas about how much
that might cost for 50 sqm of downstairs floor area ? Also, I've
heard references to the amount of insulation being needed below the
heting pipes, would a 1980s house have been built with enough below
the floor ? How does this apply to the top floor ?

Thanks,

Mike
