Working in Newmarket
We work right across Newmarket — CB8 — and in neighbouring Haverhill and Ely.
Newmarket gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Newmarket home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Whether your Newmarket bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- For wet systems, pipes in low-profile boards or screed connected to a manifold or single-zone kit, with any boiler work done by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Decisions to make first
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
Electric or wet
Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new circuit for underfloor heating is notifiable under Part P, and so is connecting it to an existing circuit in a room with a bath or shower. The electrician either self-certifies through a competent person scheme or the work is notified to building control.
