Working in Cannock

As well as Cannock itself (WS11 and WS12), we survey in Great Wyrley, Burntwood and Bloxwich.

Cannock has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We check door thresholds in Cannock homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Whether your Cannock 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

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
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Underfloor heating in Cannock: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom underfloor heating in Cannock?

Bathroom underfloor heating in Cannock usually costs £700–£2,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Cannock 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 WS11 and WS12 in Cannock?

Yes. We cover all of Cannock, including WS11 and WS12, and nearby Great Wyrley, Burntwood and Bloxwich. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Cannock?

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
