Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
In Ashton-under-Lyne we cover M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Dukinfield, 1.1 miles away, and Stalybridge.
Homes in and around Ashton-under-Lyne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Ashton-under-Lyne home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Ashton-under-Lyne home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
