Working in Bordon

As well as Bordon itself (GU35), we survey in Alton, Haslemere and Farnham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bordon: free survey, written quote, one team. Where a Bordon home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Bordon 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 Hampshire is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
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

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.

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

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.

Is the water hard in Bordon?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Bordon?

Building control for Bordon is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
