Working in Reigate
We work right across Reigate — RH1, RH2 and RH3 — and in neighbouring Redhill and Horley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Reigate: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Reigate homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Whether your Reigate bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
Supplies across most of Surrey are 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
- 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
- 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Decisions to make first
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.
Mat or loose cable
Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.
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.
