Working in Rotherham
We work right across Rotherham — S60, S61, S64 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Rawmarsh and Wath upon Dearne.
Rotherham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Rotherham home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. If your Rotherham 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 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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 finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
