Working in Stoke-on-Trent
We cover every part of Stoke-on-Trent, including ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Newcastle under Lyme (2 miles) and Kidsgrove (6.1 miles).
Stoke-on-Trent is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Stoke-on-Trent bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Where a Stoke-on-Trent home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
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
- 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
Decisions to make first
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
