Working in Glossop
As well as Glossop itself (SK13), we survey in Stalybridge, Hyde and New Mills.
Glossop gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Glossop bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Whether your Glossop 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 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- 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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
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.
Electric or wet
Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.
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.
