Working in Peterhead
We work right across Peterhead — AB42 — and in neighbouring Fraserburgh and Inverurie.
Peterhead gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Peterhead home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. Whether your Peterhead bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
Water across much of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Decisions to make first
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.
Floor heating and towel rail
Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Scotland has no Part P. Underfloor heating added during a straight bathroom refit rarely needs a building warrant on its own, but it must be installed, tested and certified to BS 7671 with RCD protection.
