Working in Hartlepool
In Hartlepool we cover TS24, TS25 and TS26; we also cover Peterlee, 7.2 miles away, and Billingham.
Across a large town like Hartlepool, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whether your Hartlepool bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. We check door thresholds in Hartlepool homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
Decisions to make first
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.
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
