Working in Burntwood

In Burntwood we cover WS7; we also cover Great Wyrley, 3.7 miles away, and Lichfield.

Homes in and around Burntwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Burntwood bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. If your Burntwood home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are 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

Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
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

Decisions to make first

Insulation board thickness

Thicker boards warm up faster and lose less heat downwards, but raise the floor; the right choice depends on the door threshold and the next room.

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.

Is the water hard in Burntwood?

Yes, a little. An electric mat on an insulation board usually adds roughly 10 mm before the adhesive and tile, which matters at the door threshold. Wet systems in low-profile boards add more, and screeded systems more again.
