Working in Stourbridge

In Stourbridge we cover DY5, DY8 and DY9; we also cover Brierley Hill, 2 miles away, and Kingswinford.

In Stourbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Stourbridge homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. If your Stourbridge home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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

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
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded

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.

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.

Underfloor heating in Stourbridge: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom underfloor heating in Stourbridge?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Stourbridge?

Building control for Stourbridge 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.

How long does bathroom underfloor heating take?

Is the home survey in Stourbridge 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.

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
