Working in Bishopsworth

As well as Bishopsworth itself (BS3, BS13 and BS41), we survey in Keynsham, Kingswood and Nailsea.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bishopsworth: free survey, written quote, one team. For Bishopsworth homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. Where a Bishopsworth home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Most of Bristol has hard water. 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

Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded

Decisions to make first

Mat or loose cable

Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.

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.

Is the water hard in Bishopsworth?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Bishopsworth?

Building control for Bishopsworth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
