Working in Tonypandy
As well as Tonypandy itself (CF40), we survey in Rhondda, Pontypridd and Aberdare.
Homes in and around Tonypandy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Tonypandy bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. If your Tonypandy home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan 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
- 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
