Working in Bebington

We cover every part of Bebington, including CH42, CH62 and CH63, and nearby Birkenhead (3 miles) and Heswall (3.6 miles).

Homes in and around Bebington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Bebington home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Bebington home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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

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 electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
