Working in Wigston Magna
We work right across Wigston Magna — LE2, LE8 and LE18 — and in neighbouring Oadby and Leicester.
In Wigston Magna, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check door thresholds in Wigston Magna homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Whether your Wigston Magna 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
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.
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
