Working in Biddulph

We cover every part of Biddulph, including ST8, and nearby Kidsgrove (3.3 miles) and Congleton (3.5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Biddulph: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Biddulph 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 Biddulph home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Water across much of Staffordshire 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

A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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
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

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Biddulph 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 ST8 in Biddulph?

Yes. We cover all of Biddulph, including ST8, and nearby Kidsgrove, Congleton and Leek. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Biddulph?

Can underfloor heating go under a bath or shower tray?

No. Electric underfloor heating must not be laid under baths, shower trays, WCs or fixed furniture, because trapped heat can damage the cable and the item above it. It covers the open floor you stand on, and in a wet room it can run under the tiled shower area.
