Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Blaydon-on-Tyne: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Blaydon-on-Tyne homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Blaydon-on-Tyne home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
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 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.
