Working in Leek

In Leek we cover ST13; we also cover Biddulph, 6.4 miles away, and Congleton.

Leek gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Leek home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Leek 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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
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

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.

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

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.
