Working in Belper
We work right across Belper — DE56 — and in neighbouring Ripley and Heanor.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Belper: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Belper bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. For Belper homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
Supplies across most of Derbyshire 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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 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.
