Working in Kingswood

We work right across Kingswood — BS15, BS16 and GL12 — and in neighbouring Mangotsfield and Keynsham.

Homes in and around Kingswood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Kingswood bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Where a Kingswood home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded

Decisions to make first

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

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.

Is the home survey in Kingswood really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BS15 in Kingswood?

Yes. We cover all of Kingswood, including BS15, BS16 and GL12, and nearby Mangotsfield, Keynsham and Bishopsworth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kingswood?

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
