Working in Jarrow
We cover every part of Jarrow, including NE28, NE31 and NE32, and nearby Hebburn (1.3 miles) and Wallsend (2.1 miles).
In Jarrow, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Jarrow home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Jarrow bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Decisions to make first
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.
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
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.
