What Heat Mat does

Heat Mat Limited is a privately held UK manufacturer and distributor of electric underfloor heating systems, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. Its core products are heating mats spanning 60W to 240W/m² output, ultra-thin (3mm) heating cables, in-screed cables, and a thermostat range that includes the new HMT5 WiFi touchscreen controller, the HMH100 and HMH200 programmable/WiFi stats, and the legacy NGTouch and HC15 models. Proprietary cable construction — combining Litzer Wire, 200°C fluoropolymer insulation, Kevlar anti-stretch reinforcement, 100% earth shielding, and anti-crush PVC jacket — is manufactured in BEAB-approved facilities in Denmark and Germany and backed by lifetime or extended warranties. The portfolio also includes accessories (insulation boards, levelling compounds, decoupling membranes, mirror demisters, overlay boards) and a separate Ice & Snow Systems line for driveway, trace, roof, vineyard, and bespoke commercial applications.

The business is run on a wholesale-led, professional-installer-focused GTM. Distribution flows through UK electrical wholesalers, tile and bathroom retailers, and a nationwide Heat Mat Trained Installer network supported by in-person training, an installer mobile app, and an online specification tool. Architects and specifiers are reached through RIBA NBS clauses and a dedicated Project Division offering site visits and bespoke quotations for hotels, pods, and large commercial sites. End customers (homeowners) can also purchase through retailer channels and are supported with technical advice, measuring guides, and a trained-installer lookup. Revenue is generated almost entirely from one-time hardware sales of mats, cables, thermostats, and accessories, with no disclosed recurring or service revenue. Certification stack (BEAB, Semko, UKCA, CE, 18th Edition, Lot 20, RoHS) and an EcoVadis sustainability rating underpin the professional-installer value proposition.
