Working in Hoyland Nether
We work right across Hoyland Nether — S70, S73 and S74 — and in neighbouring Chapeltown and Wombwell.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hoyland Nether: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Hoyland Nether homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Whether your Hoyland Nether 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 South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. 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
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
Decisions to make first
Electric or wet
Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.
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.
