Victorian floor under floor heating

Assuming the extension has a concrete floor, there will be ventilation pipes set in to it to allow air still get through to the timber floored area. There will be the old external wall between the current timber floor and the floor of the extension. The mix of radiators and UFH should be fine.

But is there? Most extensions we build are open plan to the original house. If the extension is enclosed, happy days.

As far as I'm concerned, UFH is a full-floor project. I've met people who have some here and there but I suspect each makes up for the other and that it isn't fully efficient.

I want full heating calcs for our new build to check we'll be warm enough

The extension may be open plan, but there is still the original external wall between the existing building and the extension. Controlling the heating with two different sources in the same room could be difficult though.

You've misunderstood, I know what you meant. I was saying that the wall between the house and extension usually comes down, though. Downstairs particularly, otherwise you end up with an internal room with no windows.

Yes, that's the situation I was referring to - original house wall will come down.
You've convinced me to use radiators throughout - I don't like being cold and like to be able to change the temperature quickly. Thanks.
