Working in Felixstowe
We work right across Felixstowe — IP11 — and in neighbouring Harwich and Walton-on-the-Naze.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Felixstowe: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Felixstowe homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. For Felixstowe homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
Supplies across most of Suffolk are very 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- 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
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.
Floor heating and towel rail
Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.
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.
