Working in Rugeley
As well as Rugeley itself (WS15), we survey in Burntwood, Cannock and Lichfield.
Homes in and around Rugeley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Rugeley homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. If your Rugeley bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
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.
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.
