Working in Bognor Regis

We work right across Bognor Regis — PO21 and PO22 — and in neighbouring Chichester and Littlehampton.

Homes in and around Bognor Regis vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Bognor Regis home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. We check door thresholds in Bognor Regis homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed

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.

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.

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 Bognor Regis: questions

How much does bathroom underfloor heating cost in Bognor Regis?

Is the water hard in Bognor Regis?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Bognor Regis?

Building control for Bognor Regis 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?

Allow 1–2 working days (added to a fit) on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Bognor Regis.

Does underfloor heating raise the floor height?

Yes, a little. An electric mat on an insulation board usually adds roughly 10 mm before the adhesive and tile, which matters at the door threshold. Wet systems in low-profile boards add more, and screeded systems more again.
