Working in Eccles
As well as Eccles itself (M6, M17 and M30), we survey in Swinton, Salford and Stretford.
Homes in and around Eccles vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your Eccles bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. We check door thresholds in Eccles homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.
Most of Greater Manchester 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
- 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- 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.
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.
