Working in Staveley
As well as Staveley itself (S43), we survey in Chesterfield, Dronfield and Dinnington.
In Staveley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Staveley homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. If your Staveley home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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.
