Homes in and around Craigavon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Craigavon homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. Whether your Craigavon bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.

Water across much of County Armagh is soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit

Decisions to make first

Insulation board thickness

Thicker boards warm up faster and lose less heat downwards, but raise the floor; the right choice depends on the door threshold and the next room.

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 Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has no Part P, but the heating circuit should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671, with RCD protection. Building control is not usually involved unless drainage or structural work is being done alongside it.

Does bathroom underfloor heating in Craigavon need building control approval?

Building control in Craigavon is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

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.
