Working in Poulton-le-Fylde
As well as Poulton-le-Fylde itself (FY2, FY3 and FY6), we survey in Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes.
Poulton-le-Fylde gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check door thresholds in Poulton-le-Fylde homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Poulton-le-Fylde home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. 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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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.
