Working in Stockton-on-Tees
We cover every part of Stockton-on-Tees, including TS18, TS19 and TS20, and nearby Billingham (1.8 miles) and Thornaby-on-Tees (2.5 miles).
Stockton-on-Tees has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Stockton-on-Tees bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. If your Stockton-on-Tees home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. 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
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
