Working in Wallasey
We cover every part of Wallasey, including CH44 and CH45, and nearby Moreton (2.7 miles) and Birkenhead (2.9 miles).
Homes in and around Wallasey vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Wallasey home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Wallasey bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. 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
- 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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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.
