Maintenance service for underfloor heating

Underfloor heating specialist Timoleon has launched an inspection, maintenance and commissioning service, to be known as Streamline.

Managing director Darren Trivett explains, ‘Overall, underfloor heating systems have a well deserved reputation for reliability, but problems can occur. Often these result from poor understanding of how the system should be operated — particularly in terms of control. Many underfloor heating companies provide good after-sales service in the early days, but are naturally reluctant to make return calls as the years pass.

‘For domestic users, who may be second- or even third-generation owners of the system, it can sometimes be fiendishly difficult to identify just whose system it is. The tendency for systems to be supplied through the merchant counter can also make commissioning or problem solving later in the life of the project much trickier to handle.’

Streamline services are initially available in the south east of England.
