Working in Cwmbran

We cover every part of Cwmbran, including NP44, and nearby Pontypool (3.4 miles) and Risca (4.6 miles).

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

Water hardness varies across Gwent: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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

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 Wales

In Wales, the Welsh Part P also makes a new underfloor heating circuit notifiable, and it covers more bathroom electrical work than the English version. A registered electrician handles the notification.

Is the home survey in Cwmbran 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 NP44 in Cwmbran?

Yes. We cover all of Cwmbran, including NP44, and nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can underfloor heating go under a bath or shower tray?

No. Electric underfloor heating must not be laid under baths, shower trays, WCs or fixed furniture, because trapped heat can damage the cable and the item above it. It covers the open floor you stand on, and in a wet room it can run under the tiled shower area.
