Working in Rugby

In Rugby we cover CV21 and CV22; we also cover Daventry, 9 miles away, and Coventry.

Rugby has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Rugby home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Rugby home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Supplies across most of Warwickshire 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

A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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

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.

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

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.

More about underfloor heating

Underfloor heating in Rugby: questions

What is the price of bathroom underfloor heating in Rugby?

Bathroom underfloor heating in Rugby usually costs £700–£2,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

How long does bathroom underfloor heating take?

Allow 1–2 working days (added to a fit) on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Rugby.

Is the home survey in Rugby 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 CV21 and CV22 in Rugby?

Yes. We cover all of Rugby, including CV21 and CV22, and nearby Daventry, Coventry and Bedworth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can underfloor heating go under a bath or shower tray?

No. Electric underfloor heating must not be laid under baths, shower trays, WCs or fixed furniture, because trapped heat can damage the cable and the item above it. It covers the open floor you stand on, and in a wet room it can run under the tiled shower area.
