Working in Leatherhead
We cover every part of Leatherhead, including KT21 and KT22, and nearby Epsom (3.6 miles) and Cobham (4.1 miles).
Homes in and around Leatherhead vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Leatherhead bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. If your Leatherhead home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Most of Surrey has hard water. 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 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
- 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 floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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.
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.
