Working in Sutton Coldfield
We work right across Sutton Coldfield — B72, B73 and B75 — and in neighbouring Washwood Heath and Aldridge.
Across a large town like Sutton Coldfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Where a Sutton Coldfield home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Sutton Coldfield bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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 check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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
Decisions to make first
Floor heating and towel rail
Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.
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.
