Working in Ascot

In Ascot we cover GU20, RG12 and SL5; we also cover Bracknell, 3.3 miles away, and Egham.

Ascot gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Ascot bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Where a Ascot home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Supplies across most of Berkshire are 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

The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Floor finish

Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.

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.
