Working in New Milton
We cover every part of New Milton, including BH25, and nearby Christchurch (5.2 miles) and Bournemouth (9.7 miles).
Homes in and around New Milton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your New Milton bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. For New Milton homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
Supplies across most of Hampshire 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 check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
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.
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.
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.
