Working in Barrow in Furness
As well as Barrow in Furness itself (LA13, LA14 and LA15), we survey in Heysham, Morecambe and Fleetwood.
Homes in and around Barrow in Furness vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Barrow in Furness home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. We check door thresholds in Barrow in Furness homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.
Supplies across most of Cumbria 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
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Decisions to make first
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
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.
