Working in Hadleigh

We work right across Hadleigh — SS7, SS8 and SS9 — and in neighbouring South Benfleet and Rayleigh.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hadleigh: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Hadleigh bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. Where a Hadleigh home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Most of Essex has very 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

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
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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.

Mat or loose cable

Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.

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.

Is the home survey in Hadleigh really free?

Do you cover SS7 in Hadleigh?

Yes. We cover all of Hadleigh, including SS7, SS8 and SS9, and nearby South Benfleet, Rayleigh and Canvey Island. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
