Working in Gelligaer

As well as Gelligaer itself (CF82), we survey in Blackwood, Pontypridd and Caerphilly.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gelligaer: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Gelligaer home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Whether your Gelligaer bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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 floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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

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.

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 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.

Do you cover CF82 in Gelligaer?

Yes. We cover all of Gelligaer, including CF82, and nearby Blackwood, Pontypridd and Caerphilly. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
