Working in Yate

In Yate we cover BS37; we also cover Mangotsfield, 5.2 miles away, and Kingswood.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Yate: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Yate homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Yate bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is 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

Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured

Decisions to make first

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.

Mat or loose cable

Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.

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.

Do I need an electrician to install bathroom underfloor heating?

Yes, for the connection. The fitter can lay the mat, but the supply, RCD protection and thermostat in a bathroom must be installed and tested by a qualified electrician, and in England and Wales the work is notifiable under Part P. Our underfloor heating guide covers the choices in more depth.
