Working in Hunts Cross

As well as Hunts Cross itself (L19, L24 and L26), we survey in Allerton, Halewood and Speke.

Hunts Cross gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Hunts Cross home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Whether your Hunts Cross 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 Merseyside is 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

A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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

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.

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.

Do you cover L19 in Hunts Cross?

Yes. We cover all of Hunts Cross, including L19, L24 and L26, and nearby Allerton, Halewood and Speke. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
