Working in Portadown

In Portadown we cover BT62; we also cover Craigavon, 2.8 miles away, and Banbridge.

In Portadown, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Portadown home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Portadown bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.

Supplies across most of County Armagh are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician

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.

Insulation board thickness

Thicker boards warm up faster and lose less heat downwards, but raise the floor; the right choice depends on the door threshold and the next room.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has no Part P, but the heating circuit should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671, with RCD protection. Building control is not usually involved unless drainage or structural work is being done alongside it.

Can underfloor heating go under a bath or shower tray?

No. Electric underfloor heating must not be laid under baths, shower trays, WCs or fixed furniture, because trapped heat can damage the cable and the item above it. It covers the open floor you stand on, and in a wet room it can run under the tiled shower area.
