Working in Nuneaton

In Nuneaton we cover CV10 and CV11; we also cover Bedworth, 3.1 miles away, and Hinckley.

Nuneaton has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Where a Nuneaton home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. We check door thresholds in Nuneaton homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Most of Warwickshire 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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
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
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go

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.

Is the water hard in Nuneaton?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Nuneaton?

Building control for Nuneaton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
