Working in Chapeltown

In Chapeltown we cover S5, S35 and S74; we also cover Hoyland Nether, 2.6 miles away, and Wombwell.

Chapeltown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Chapeltown bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. If your Chapeltown home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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 check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go

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 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.
