Working in Willenhall
We work right across Willenhall — WS3, WV12 and WV13 — and in neighbouring Wednesfield and Wolverhampton.
In Willenhall, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Willenhall bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Where a Willenhall home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
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
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- 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
Insulation board thickness
Thicker boards warm up faster and lose less heat downwards, but raise the floor; the right choice depends on the door threshold and the next room.
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.
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.
