Working in Burnley
In Burnley we cover BB10 and BB11; we also cover Nelson, 2.7 miles away, and Colne.
Burnley has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Burnley home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Burnley home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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.
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.
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.
