Working in Lossiemouth

We work right across Lossiemouth — IV31 — and in neighbouring Elgin and Buckie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Lossiemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. Where a Lossiemouth home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. For Lossiemouth homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.

Supplies across most of Moray 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

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
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured

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.

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland has no Part P. Underfloor heating added during a straight bathroom refit rarely needs a building warrant on its own, but it must be installed, tested and certified to BS 7671 with RCD protection.

Is the water hard in Lossiemouth?

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.
