The conservatory where only Arctic explorers dare venture, the kitchen slippers that do battle with the chilly stone fl oor – inadequate or poorly designed heating can lead us to hibernate in ever decreasing areas of our homes as outside temperatures drop.

A bulky heating system can be a year-round space-stealer, forcing you to squeeze in fi xtures, fi ttings and furniture. Whether it’s a jauntily-angled sofa or a freezer working overtime in the toasty corner of the kitchen, working around unwieldy heating means compromising on the layout and practicality of our homes.

Thankfully, a well-designed UFH system means you can enjoy every last inch of your home, 365 days a year.

Why choose a designed UFH system?Just as no two homes are the same, neither are any two rooms in your property. Each room may have different glazing and insulation levels, different fl oor coverings and a different use, meaning that heating temperature preferences may also vary – you might, for instance, like your bedroom to be cooler for sleeping, but your bathroom to be snug when you step out of the shower.

Nu-Heat carries out room-by-room heat loss calculations before designing a bespoke UFH system for your home. This not only allows you to individually control the temperature and heating schedule of each room, but accounts for each area’s unique characteristics and how the space will be used.

Is my home suitable for UFH?Properties of all ages can be suitable for UFH. Installing UFH is simpler and faster than ever, and a designed UFH system will ensure every room meets its required temperature.

A good supplier will support both you and your installer through the whole process – from the design of your UFH system, through the installation process and on into everyday use.

Will I need to dig up my fl oors?No! UFH can be fi tted directly over your existing fl oor, and choosing a low-profi le system will minimise any disruption to fi xtures and fi ttings. Make sure you consider the full height build-up, including any structural decks that may need to be laid over the UFH before your choice of fl oor covering can be fi tted.

Expect more with Nu-Heat Know-HowEvery design that Nu-Heat provides is bespoke; working with you to provide an energy effi cient, cost effective system that matches your exact requirements. The only heating company awarded a Distinction by the Institute of Customer Service, you can be confi dent that we will provide you with the support you need to help your project run smoothly.

A key motivator for home renovations and extensions is the creation of space, but what about also reclaiming the space you already have in your home? Expert underfl oor heating (UFH) design can increase your year-round, usable living space in your existing property and any extensions.

BUILDING CONTROL

APPROVED INSPECTORS

In the old days there was no choice but to use your local council for Building Control but since 1998 private Approved Inspectors, licensed by the government via the Construction Industry Council (CIC) can also carry out Building Regulations Approval.

The majority of commercial work in the UK is now undertaken by Approved Inspectors. The full register can be found at cic.org.uk.

If you choose to use an Approved Inspector, they will notify your local authority who will then have no further involvement. It is important that you allow fi ve working days before starting work for this notifi cation process (it is however okay to proceed with site clearance or trial holes.)

If choosing between Approved Inspectors, in addition to price, you may want to consider whether you will have a dedicated project manager, how much notifi cation they need for site visits and whether they offer any additional services that can make your build go smoothly and save you money. Above all, speak to them and see if their attitude is friendly and helpful! Building Control can be engaged by the homeowner, or by the builder or architect who may include it in their fees but ultimately it is the owner of the property who will receive the Final Certifi cate and who must be happy with the choice.

WHAT TO EXPECT

When making a Building Control application you will need to provide details such as a description of the works, value of the project, the address and a site location plan.

Before you start work your Building Control Surveyor will want to see more detailed plans, a design stage SAP calculation and structural calculations if appropriate. They will then undertake a plan check and let you know any areas of likely non-compliance. The earlier your Surveyor gets the plans, the more time you will have to discuss any issues with them and to rectify any problems before works start.

As works get underway you will need to notify your Surveyor of key stages and book inspections. These stages might typically be:

Foundations excavation; damp proof course/ membrane; wall cavities/ roof structure; completion.

At all stages you should be provided with a site inspection report indicating what has been inspected and any issues that have arisen.

You should be able to talk to your Surveyor or call them out at any time if you have concerns as to how to resolve problems.

At the end of the work, Building Control will need to see various certifi cation - such as for SAP and Air Tightness testing - and if these are satisfactory, a Final Certifi cate can be issued which rests with the property owner and will need to be available if the property is ever sold.

Building Regulations can seem daunting for people starting on their fi rst self-build project and it pays to choose your Building Control provider carefully: they will be with the project from the beginning right through to completion so it’s essential to choose a Building Control provider who can work as part of the team, not just pointing out compliance problems if they arise but also helping to solve them.

Building Regulations allow many different ways of achieving compliance and your Building Control Surveyor has a fair amount of discretion as to what is acceptable. Their skill and knowledge will be particularly important if you are building in less conventional building materials such as straw bale or rammed earth or if innovative technologies or build systems are used.
