Working in Maghull
In Maghull we cover L31; we also cover Kirkby, 3.1 miles away, and Litherland.
In Maghull, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Maghull homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. If your Maghull bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- 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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
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.
