Working in West Bridgford
In West Bridgford we cover NG2; we also cover Nottingham, 1.9 miles away, and Arnold.
In West Bridgford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your West Bridgford bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. We check door thresholds in West Bridgford homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.
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
- 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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
Decisions to make first
Mat or loose cable
Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.
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 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.
