Working in Alfreton

As well as Alfreton itself (DE55), we survey in Ripley, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Alfreton: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Alfreton homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Alfreton home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Water across much of Derbyshire is 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

The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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

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.

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.

Yes, a little. An electric mat on an insulation board usually adds roughly 10 mm before the adhesive and tile, which matters at the door threshold. Wet systems in low-profile boards add more, and screeded systems more again.
