Working in Cheshunt

In Cheshunt we cover EN7, EN8 and EN9; we also cover Waltham Abbey, 1.4 miles away, and Enfield.

In Cheshunt, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cheshunt home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Cheshunt home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Water across much of Hertfordshire is very 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

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
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician

Decisions to make first

Electric or wet

Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.

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 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.
