Working in Stamford

We work right across Stamford — PE9 — and in neighbouring Oakham and Peterborough.

Stamford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Stamford home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. We check door thresholds in Stamford homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. 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
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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.

Floor heating and towel rail

Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.

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.
