Also considering an air-air heat pump. Something like energybulbs.co.uk/kfr-23iw%2fx1c+air+conditioning+unit+(wall+split+system)/1385635130. It seems cheap and likely to do what we need...
That link is to energy saving lightbulbs!
Off the top of my head: loft conversions can get quite warm when it's a sunny day. An air-air heat pump could help in keeping it cool when needed as well as heating (if I've understood correctly and an air-air heat pump is the same as a heat exchanger).

i'd definitely weigh up the costs associated with underfloor heating vs a simple radiator. we had our loft done and its almost finished and by golly its hot up there and you definitely notice the difference with all the bucket loads of celotex they put up there.
unless your struggling for space i'd definitely recommend a radiator over underfloor heating. that's only based on me being cheap than anything else mind.

Not really DIY, but...
We are having a loft conversion done, and don't really want to waste wall space for a radiator.
Half considering electric underfloor heating, but oak floors make that a bit tricky, and it also seems quite expensive for what it is.
