Working in Crowborough

In Crowborough we cover TN6; we also cover Tunbridge Wells, 6.6 miles away, and Uckfield.

Crowborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Crowborough home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. We check door thresholds in Crowborough homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Supplies across most of East Sussex are 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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
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
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat

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.

Yes, a little. An electric mat on an insulation board usually adds roughly 10 mm before the adhesive and tile, which matters at the door threshold. Wet systems in low-profile boards add more, and screeded systems more again.
