Working in Felling
We cover every part of Felling, including NE8, NE9 and NE10, and nearby Gateshead (1.4 miles) and Newcastle upon Tyne (2.2 miles).
Homes in and around Felling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Felling home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. Whether your Felling bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
Most of Tyne and Wear 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
- 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
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
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.
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.
