In Brierley Hill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Brierley Hill home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. For Brierley Hill homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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
- 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
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.
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.
