Working in Walsall
As well as Walsall itself (WS1, WS2, WS4 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Wednesbury, Wednesfield and West Bromwich.
Across a large town like Walsall, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Where a Walsall home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. For Walsall homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- 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
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
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.
