FAQs
Underfloor Heating in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide underfloor heating across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
Can underfloor heating be retrofitted into an existing floor?
Yes, low-profile retrofit systems are available for existing floors, though the practical option depends on the existing floor build-up and door threshold heights, which we assess on survey.
How long does screed take to cure before I can use UFH?
A traditional screed typically needs around four to six weeks to cure before the system is gradually brought up to full temperature, following the screed manufacturer's guidance. Faster-curing screed products can reduce this.
Does Green Belt designation affect extending a house in Sevenoaks?
Green Belt policy applies primarily to new buildings and significant additions that would be disproportionate to the original dwelling, rather than ruling out modest extensions. We assess this against your specific property and its planning history.
