Working in Falkirk
We work right across Falkirk — FK1, FK2 and FK5 — and in neighbouring Grangemouth and Alloa.
Homes in and around Falkirk vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your Falkirk bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. If your Falkirk home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Most of the Forth Valley is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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
Decisions to make first
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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 Scotland
Scotland has no Part P. Underfloor heating added during a straight bathroom refit rarely needs a building warrant on its own, but it must be installed, tested and certified to BS 7671 with RCD protection.
