Working in Kirkby in Ashfield
In Kirkby in Ashfield we cover NG17 and NG18; we also cover Sutton in Ashfield, 1.9 miles away, and Mansfield.
Homes in and around Kirkby in Ashfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check door thresholds in Kirkby in Ashfield homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Kirkby in Ashfield home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Water across much of Nottinghamshire is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
Decisions to make first
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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 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.
