Where can underfloor heating be fitted?

Is it okay to have underfloor heating fitted in both new and old parts of a home? Or should there be consistency or/and should they only be installed in the newer sections of my property?

"You can have underfloor heating under any floor,
Two kinds electric and water, I would recommend water on an old boiler and you should flush system prior to getting rid of any sludge in system,"

"Generally any part of the home. If you send a floor plan with flooring construction materials and methods to an underfloor heating manufacturer they will spec the requirements for you."

"Underfloor heating can be fitted in new and old buildings. Retrofitted to older buildings with the more insulation the better"

"There is no limit to where it can be installed
There is the option of wet underfloor or electric heating and certain things to consider when having both types
I.e if you have wet underfloor heating it will be connected to your boiler
Is your boiler powerful enough
You will need an accessible area to install a manifold and pump etc"
