Working in Halesowen

In Halesowen we cover B62, B63 and B64; we also cover Bartley Green, 2.4 miles away, and Brierley Hill.

Homes in and around Halesowen vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Halesowen homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. We check door thresholds in Halesowen homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

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
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go

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.

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 Halesowen?

Does underfloor heating raise the floor height?

Yes, a little. An electric mat on an insulation board usually adds roughly 10 mm before the adhesive and tile, which matters at the door threshold. Wet systems in low-profile boards add more, and screeded systems more again.
