Working in Biggleswade
We work right across Biggleswade — SG18 — and in neighbouring Letchworth Garden City and St Neots.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Biggleswade: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Biggleswade homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Biggleswade bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
Supplies across most of Bedfordshire are very hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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.
