Working in Chalfont St Peter
In Chalfont St Peter we cover SL9; we also cover Gerrards Cross, 1.6 miles away, and Rickmansworth.
Chalfont St Peter gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check door thresholds in Chalfont St Peter homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Chalfont St Peter home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire is 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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Decisions to make first
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
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.
