Working in Cheadle Hulme
In Cheadle Hulme we cover SK3, SK7 and SK8; we also cover Bramhall, 1.6 miles away, and Stockport.
Homes in and around Cheadle Hulme vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Cheadle Hulme home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Cheadle Hulme 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 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
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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.
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
