Working in Uckfield

In Uckfield we cover TN22; we also cover Crowborough, 7 miles away, and Lewes.

Uckfield gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Uckfield home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. For Uckfield homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.

Most of East Sussex has hard water. 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

The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
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
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

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.

Floor heating and towel rail

Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.

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.
