Working in East Molesey

As well as East Molesey itself (KT7, KT8 and TW12), we survey in West Molesey, Esher and Surbiton.

East Molesey gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your East Molesey bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. Where a East Molesey 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 Surrey is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician

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.

Floor finish

Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.

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 East Molesey: questions

Is the home survey in East Molesey 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 KT7 in East Molesey?

Yes. We cover all of East Molesey, including KT7, KT8 and TW12, and nearby West Molesey, Esher and Surbiton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
