Working in Yeovil

We work right across Yeovil — BA20 and BA21 — and in neighbouring Dorchester and Bridgwater.

In Yeovil, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check door thresholds in Yeovil homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Yeovil bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.

Most of Somerset 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 floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Underfloor heating in Yeovil: questions

What is the price of bathroom underfloor heating in Yeovil?

Bathroom underfloor heating in Yeovil usually costs £700–£2,600 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Yeovil really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BA20 and BA21 in Yeovil?

Yes. We cover all of Yeovil, including BA20 and BA21, and nearby Dorchester, Bridgwater and Taunton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Yeovil?

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.
