Working in Market Harborough
We work right across Market Harborough — LE16 — and in neighbouring Corby and Kettering.
Market Harborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Market Harborough home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Whether your Market Harborough bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- 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 floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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.
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
