Working in Spalding
We work right across Spalding — PE11 — and in neighbouring Boston and Peterborough.
In Spalding, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Spalding homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. Whether your Spalding 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 most of Lincolnshire are 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
- 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
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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.
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.
