If set up correctly, is it possible that the rads can get warm when the underfloor heating is the only thing calling for heat?

I have this problem. I think my central heating motorised valve is knackered and isn't closing properly so the rads come on when the hot water is on. One day I'll get round to replacing it or finding a plumber.

I definitely need something more intelligent than the current setup. As it stands, we will be heating multiple rooms when there is no need and having to manually adjust rads when we come into rooms

I keep wondering about this. As an example our loft room has been heated all weekend even though nobody has been in there so the radiators could be off. Tomorrow my wife will be working in there and will want it nice and snug. But 3 smart TRVs (3 rads) and a bridge is 200+ which will take many years to pay for itself so I'm not sure if it is really worth it.

Forum approved Gas engineer Rokas said it's more efficient to you a small electric heater in one or two rooms you are using!
