Working in East Grinstead
We work right across East Grinstead — RH19 — and in neighbouring Horley and Crawley.
Homes in and around East Grinstead vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For East Grinstead homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. We check door thresholds in East Grinstead 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
- 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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- 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
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.
