Working in West Bromwich
As well as West Bromwich itself (B43, B64, B65 and 8 more postcode districts), we survey in Smethwick, Wednesbury and Tipton.
Across a large town like West Bromwich, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We check door thresholds in West Bromwich homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. For West Bromwich homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- 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.
