Working in Ellesmere Port
We work right across Ellesmere Port — CH64, CH65 and CH66 — and in neighbouring Garston and Speke.
In Ellesmere Port, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Ellesmere Port bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. Where a Ellesmere Port 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 Cheshire are moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- For wet systems, pipes in low-profile boards or screed connected to a manifold or single-zone kit, with any boiler work done by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
Decisions to make first
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
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 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.
