Working in Burton upon Trent
As well as Burton upon Trent itself (DE14 and DE15), we survey in Swadlincote, Derby and Lichfield.
Burton upon Trent has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Where a Burton upon Trent home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. Whether your Burton upon Trent bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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.
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.
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.
