Working in Newark on Trent
We work right across Newark on Trent — NG24 — and in neighbouring Grantham and Arnold.
In Newark on Trent, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Newark on Trent home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Whether your Newark on Trent bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
Most of Nottinghamshire has hard water. 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
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- 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
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.
