Working in Auchterarder

In Auchterarder we cover PH3; we also cover Crieff, 7.3 miles away, and Perth.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Auchterarder: free survey, written quote, one team. For Auchterarder homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. If your Auchterarder home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Supplies across most of Perth and Kinross 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
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed

Decisions to make first

Thermostat

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

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 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 Auchterarder?

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.
