Working in Havant

In Havant we cover PO9; we also cover Emsworth, 2.2 miles away, and Waterlooville.

Homes in and around Havant vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Havant home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Havant home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Most of Hampshire 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
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
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Bathroom underfloor heating in Havant usually costs £800–£2,800 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Havant really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PO9 in Havant?

Yes. We cover all of Havant, including PO9, and nearby Emsworth, Waterlooville and South Hayling. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Havant?

Does underfloor heating raise the floor height?

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.
