Working in Maesteg

In Maesteg we cover CF34; we also cover Briton Ferry, 7.1 miles away, and Neath.

Maesteg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Maesteg bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. We check door thresholds in Maesteg homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Water across much of Mid Glamorgan 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

Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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

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 Wales

In Wales, the Welsh Part P also makes a new underfloor heating circuit notifiable, and it covers more bathroom electrical work than the English version. A registered electrician handles the notification.

Is the home survey in Maesteg really free?

Do you cover CF34 in Maesteg?

Yes. We cover all of Maesteg, including CF34, and nearby Briton Ferry, Neath and Bridgend. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
