Working in Hythe
As well as Hythe itself (SO45), we survey in Southampton, Totton and Hedge End.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hythe: free survey, written quote, one team. For Hythe homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. Where a Hythe home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
Water across much of Hampshire 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
