Got to say that while fixing and rennovating cars is nice - building work like this and producing a decent living/working space seems a lot more satisfying.
I would have definitely put some insulation under that floor. Even some cheap XPS/EPS panels will save a lot of energy as you won't be heating the space under floor.
Heavy metal beams are quite significant heat conductors. Insulation should be placed on top of them. Wooden battens should be installed on top of the metal beams, with insulation in between. This way, the floorboard material doesn’t need to be as thick. Such a hollow structure might not be ideal because it allows debris and mice to get in.

Thank you, something we just ‘threw’ together! To be honest the hard bit was getting the angles in the CAD to match the distortion of the camera lens. Do enjoy the creativity TH-cam allows us!
It’s a great system, particularly for retro fitting. John Guest have been very good to us, they also supplied the Sharkbite airline and the cooling system for our Polar Bear Bar (also both fun videos).
Back in the late 80's when the fire department I was on added four more equipment bays on to the firehouse we went with an insulated slab with embedded coils for the hot water boiler. It made for warm floors to work on and eliminated a drying tower for the hoses as they dried very quickly on the heated floor and was more economical then suspended gas fired heaters and the heat was even throughout, something you do not get with forced air systems or even radiant overhead systems as well.
Seen a lot of engish shows like grand designs, where they've put in underfloor heating. But I've seen them putting in underfloor heating in, having it explained and it's done. Brilliant congratulations to all involved in building the office area.
Fantastic episode Edd! This is an example of the interesting and wonderful in-depth material that you couldn’t give us with Mike on your old network TV show. Well done and please give us more like this! 🎉🥂
The thrill of construction -- so good to watch others doing all the effort! Regarding that neat H&C supply and waste plumbing ... I was visualising the scenario that someone washes something unwise down the sink, and it causes a blockage in the wastepipe. You try to rod it and one of the polypipe joints comes apart. Hmmm ... Good luck getting at it!! 😮
I would put isolation between the floor and the base floor too, to eliminate even more of the cold from beneeth 🙂 I like the use of the Danish made Grundfoss circulation pump - they are working pretty good and use extremely low energy. Btw you are fantastic Ed!!!
After binge watching every episode of Wheeler Dealers you were in, I was excited to find your TH-cam channel! Remember, when something works as planned (door fit the rough opening), always hide your surprise :)
That should be a really nice place to relax, oh and work of course! I just hope it doesn't impact project productivity with the temptation to loaf around in a nice warm office instead of getting down to it on a freezing cold shop floor!😂 Great build.👍👍
Top class stuff from a great presenter. Some things I do miss from being born in the UK and serving my electrical apprenticeship in the UK, one thing I do not miss is working in very cold conditions.
Very nice - I did a mini-split system in my shop, but my workshop is an old barn, so the walls are 18" thick stone. It doesn't take a lot to keep the temps nice and even, plus I have the benefit of cooling for the winter. Radiant floor heat is so nice, I've seen it used in bathrooms here in the US to warm the tile underfoot.
FYI - Free advice from Canada. The better your insulation and sealing of unwanted air leakage, then the less you need to worry about "zones". All the spaces are inside the same thermal envelope, and they'll tend to be roughly the same temperature. This implies you do not use insulation *between* the spaces, and you should have some common air flow and mixing (vents) between the spaces. For the external walls, with such air-tight construction, you need to have some forced ventilation to provide fresh air to the occupants (and remove indoor air pollutants). Those air exchange systems can have heat recovery cores, so they don't waste your warm air. That also mixes the air to help equalize the temperature. With all this done correctly, that size space could be heated with maybe (?) 1kW of heat. Perhaps 2kW if you're worried about extremely cold periods, but that might be a bit 'over-powered'. Thus perhaps several little 500 watt electric heaters that would be cycling on and off, given England's mild climate. The editing suite would likely be primarily heated by the video editing PC (assuming it's a monster 400-500 watt PC). The system shown in the video is vastly over-complicated, and there's not enough attention to underfloor insulation. Haven't seen the walls and ceiling yet.
The low energy use you mention is not an inherent advantage of any particular heating technology. The zone valves are thermostat controlled, if the space only needs 1kw of heating, it will only take 1kw of energy from the heating system. When there is no demand for heat from all the zones, the pump stops and the system turns off the boiler. The heat source of this wet system could be a gas, electric or oil boiler, or even a heat pump. With little electric heaters in each room there would still be effectively heating 'zones', as you could run one with the others turned off, or set one to 19oC and another to 21oC. You have the exact same control either way. With a wet system like this it is still best practice to run a individual loop zone per room. Consider in your example the room with the 'monster editing PC' you believe will need considerably less heat output, there will be less demand in that room, regardless of electric heater or underfloor. There are actually some perceived warmth benefits of underfloor heating vs other methods, and they tend to heat the room much more evenly. You may be able to run the rooms at a lower temperature this way. Btw, These small little manifolds / heatmiser systems are not expensive any more, when they first came out in the early 2000s they were only used on luxury buildings, but they are now cheaply available from chinese manufacturers. Apart from the running of the pipe giving an extra stage before pouring the floor, there is really no disadvantage in actual use. The choice of insulation is a completely separate consideration, which obviously impacts the energy efficiency of the space. That said, I've experienced these hyper insulated modern construction units in some new build hotels. The units are prefabricated off site and then just stacked on top of each other by the builders. I find it extremely uncomfortable personally. The trapped heat energy, no matter how low you set the temperature on the heating controls or turn up the central air speed feels like being inside an oven. The heat radiation has no where to go except make the occupants feel uncomfortable. I found myself leaving the window open all night. Not sure on the logic of insulating buildings to the point your only option is to open the window in freezing outdoor temperatures !
@@christianclark1354 So you're saying that an overly-complicated $20,000+ heating system is better than a simple and straightforward $2,000 heating system (capital expense). Even if the annual heating costs are in fact the same. I can understand your position, if you're selling such overly-complicated and vastly expensive systems. Are you an installer ? Some of your other more-detailed points are utter nonsense. Perhaps your experiences represent a lack of experience with heating systems if someone has created a system that is overheating. Time to call in the experts, which you will find in other countries. Colder countries.
@@christianclark1354 For the basic 'Heating 101' knowledge, look up Canada's so-called "R2000" program from about 40 years ago. It covers all the basics. I outlined some of it in my first post above. It's all extremely well proven. If you're having worse results, then you need to expand your radius of data gathering. My annual heating bill is around Cdn$2k, for a large house, in Canada. We keep it at around +20°C to +21°C, and maybe +19°C at night. All electric. Simple electric baseboards, cost about $500 about 30 years ago. Extremely comfortable. Fresh air. Walls are a foot thick, R32. Basement is insulated. 24 square meters of passive solar gain, shaded in summer by the roof overhangs (nice and cool). It's all just the R2000 advice well implemented. Simple, cheap, and efficient. If you're implementing zones (especially in a small space), then frankly, you're doing it wrong.
@@myaccount__7269 He certainly does own the little building inside, the one under construction. Which is precisely what we're referring to. Obviously. He COULD HAVE PUT INSULATION UNDER THE FLOOR (of the little blue thing he's building), as the rule of thumb is that ~30% of the heat loss is downwards. He ALSO CHOSE AN OVERLY COMPLICATED HEATING SYSTEM for such a small space. Not his fault, because it seems to me that the UK is blissfully unaware of the techniques and tricks used in colder climates. Last time I was in the UK in the middle of February 2023, it was shirt sleeve comfortable +16°C in London.
And in the Blue Peter style of engineering, heres one we prepared earlier. Master class in good old solid building engineering. You guys are another level. Cant believe you are doing this largely by yourself. Wising you all the best Edd.

i loved wheeler dealer bk in the day. the way you explained the process of fixing cars was amazing the tips you gave an how to save money. the new mechanic it wasn't the same. i just found out you have a youtube channel. glad to have you back me old China
I sincerely hope you never have any plumbing issues with the pipes running between those girders, that would be a nightmare to maintain. Great build, best of luck Edd
Very good job Edd !! All your pojects are really interesting to see. I can't wait to see the next video about building this room into the cold garage. Sure it will be cozy !! 😃 👍
Very nice video, but for something that should be "moveable" it seems a bit too complex. For something like that I would definitely go for a mini split, they are MUCH cheaper than any underfloor heating and don't require all that work to install. Also, why is there no underfloor insulation? Specially with a radiant floor, in my view, it makes a lot of sense to insulate below to avoid radiating to the outside.
@@christophersmith108 I learned this the hard way by sleeping in a hammock without an underquilt. Atlhough "sleep" isn't the correct term since I got about 10 minutes the whole night.
Always love the car stuff Edd, but I actually enjoyed this more. Great videography and editing, loved the incidental music too. Strangely hypnotic seeing the time delay shots pieced together. A bit like a grand designs episode, I can't wait to see the next instalment. But alas not enough PPE; helmets, safety glasses, dusk masks, gloves etc.
Glad you enjoyed it, there is something slightly magical about time lapse sequences for sure. It’s good that you like this more than the car projects as there is much more to do to get the building finished!
You earned my subscription, your content is great again.. thank you and welcome back! I missed you when you left Wheeler Dealers, it feels like forever but I feel like now you are back. I love the detailed descriptions of technical stuff and your presentation of the underfloor system shows that you are a talented presenter in other subjects and not just cars… but ultimately I’m here for the car stuff of course. I work in design and certification of insulation and love working on cars so this is very interesting to me. I’m at a loss as to why no insulation under that floor, most people simply think heat rises and the bottom is not important and stuff like thermal bridging does not get considered.. but I’m sure you will be toasty and warm in your office.
Thanks Edd, this was a lot of fun to watch, especially because you made so much progress in one go. I was on tenterhooks waiting for "thats a job for another day". :-) cant wait to see it done!
Absolutely sweaty Edd at 33:04 😂😂. It's very entertaining to watch other people work and then seeing the end result of all their labor! Well done guys, a pro couldn't have done it any better! cheers
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than tea for keeping the boys warm.... Excellenteeee vid for explaing under floor heating..... Next...the A.C ? N x
Very nice build! Looks like it'll be warm and comfortable space when finished. Me being in Finland, I know what cold winter is, brrrr :D I saw the poll you posted about will to watch this kind of content as well, or just cars and boats being repaired, and certainly I would be interested to see builds like this occasionally in the future. Car repairs being the main thing though.
NOW!! Is there really anything the great Ed China cannot do??? 😊😊 What an awesome project!! Like a Lego set/Meccano set with MUD & WATER!! Very well done indeed. 😊
Radial floor heating has been an option here in States for some time and is an Effective way to keep things from freezing and when your feet are warm everything else feels warm, same with everything in a shop with heating in flooring, Good Choice Edd
Always been a fan of this heating system, efficient and offers plenty of heat. You’re going to have a very nice little place to stay warm, or cool while working.
This is a great solution for a pretty complicated problem. like the small bloopers that were kept in to show that everyone isn't perfect. way to laugh at it as well. keep up the fun and would you ever look to buy your own property and build a "perfect" place in your eyes? cheers.
Absolutely, tried building a ‘destination’ in Bracknell years ago but the property owner doubled the asking price the moment we had secured the mortgage! Always on the look out and I may have found somewhere!!…
My word, that's is a whole lot of work, for keeping warm. Not to mention the amount of energy required to keep the system on. Hence I love my country, South Africa, where we have amazing climate all year around ❤❤❤
@@RichardBrooklyn sadly this is true all over the world. Unfortunately, the huge disparity caused by the years of an apartheid government , poverty will breed crime. It's like the child paying for sins of the father. But overall, it is truly one of the best countries in the world to live in. And the climate is a added bonus.
Got to say that while fixing and rennovating cars is nice - building work like this and producing a decent living/working space seems a lot more satisfying.

Thanks for yet another awesome video Edd. 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼
Красивая работа! Приятно смотреть!
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Edd, this was a lot of fun to watch, especially because you made so much progress in one go. I was on tenterhooks waiting for "thats a job for another day". :-) cant wait to see it done!
Fantastic work and design Edd. Want to see more of the build sir.
Absolutely brilliant, love it.....
Absolutely sweaty Edd at 33:04 😂😂. It's very entertaining to watch other people work and then seeing the end result of all their labor! Well done guys, a pro couldn't have done it any better! cheers
I suspect the crew were pros.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than tea for keeping the boys warm....
Excellenteeee vid for explaing under floor heating.....
Next...the A.C ?

I liked the way that two of you carried that door frame, either side of it!
Thank you for listing the soundtrack! I have often wondered what "Fireflies" was called and now I know!
Very nice build! Looks like it'll be warm and comfortable space when finished. Me being in Finland, I know what cold winter is, brrrr :D
I saw the poll you posted about will to watch this kind of content as well, or just cars and boats being repaired, and certainly I would be interested to see builds like this occasionally in the future. Car repairs being the main thing though.
Well done ED and the Boys.
What a mammoth build.
Thank you but I fear that was the easy bit!!
That looks like a very good addition to the workshop Edd!
Bloody brilliant as usual. Can't wait for the next installment 😀
Thanks, great news. Better crack on with the next phase then!…
some great sequences in this!
Missed this last week so watching now happy days.
Thanks very much, glad you found it!
Me ha encantado el vídeo y por supuesto tus explicaciones, saludos!!
Great job Ed👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
NOW!! Is there really anything the great Ed China cannot do??? 😊😊
What an awesome project!! Like a Lego set/Meccano set with MUD & WATER!! Very well done indeed. 😊
Why do i always finds the videos 5 minuter before bed time? I went to bed to late, a gen.
Thanks Edd! :D
Amazing work guys interesting,educational and fun to watch keep it up.
Radial floor heating has been an option here in States for some time and is an Effective way to keep things from freezing and when your feet are warm everything else feels warm, same with everything in a shop with heating in flooring, Good Choice Edd
Always been a fan of this heating system, efficient and offers plenty of heat. You’re going to have a very nice little place to stay warm, or cool while working.
I’m probably doing the underfloor heating myself on my house renovation project so this was very helpful to see the process!! Thanks 😎
Except you need to insulate below the heated floor
I actually really enjoyed this episode. The carrying of the door frame was very well done and unexpected!
This is a great solution for a pretty complicated problem. like the small bloopers that were kept in to show that everyone isn't perfect. way to laugh at it as well. keep up the fun and would you ever look to buy your own property and build a "perfect" place in your eyes? cheers.
Absolutely, tried building a ‘destination’ in Bracknell years ago but the property owner doubled the asking price the moment we had secured the mortgage! Always on the look out and I may have found somewhere!!…
@eddchina that's great. Hopefully this is the one and u can put things in how you want.
My word, that's is a whole lot of work, for keeping warm. Not to mention the amount of energy required to keep the system on. Hence I love my country, South Africa, where we have amazing climate all year around ❤❤❤
Shame about all the crime.
@@RichardBrooklyn Harsh but hilarious response.
@@RichardBrooklyn sadly this is true all over the world. Unfortunately, the huge disparity caused by the years of an apartheid government , poverty will breed crime. It's like the child paying for sins of the father. But overall, it is truly one of the best countries in the world to live in. And the climate is a added bonus.
@@sunilphalakdhari3869 "it truly is one of the best countries in the world to live in"... the absolute cope!
I'm not gonna lie, I love this. I think you're onto something here. You could start a home improvement channel. Call it Better Shedds & Car Dens.
That was fascinating to watch. Great work guys..
I can't wait for the next video from Eddie china ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
