Working in Coalville

In Coalville we cover LE67; we also cover Loughborough, 7.7 miles away, and Swadlincote.

In Coalville, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Coalville bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Whether your Coalville bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.

Water across much of Leicestershire 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 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
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Coalville?

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.
