Working in Bexhill-on-Sea
We cover every part of Bexhill-on-Sea, including TN38, TN39 and TN40, and nearby Hastings (4.8 miles) and Hailsham (9.3 miles).
Homes in and around Bexhill-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Bexhill-on-Sea home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. For Bexhill-on-Sea homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
Water across much of East Sussex is 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
- 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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.
