Working in Calne

As well as Calne itself (SN11), we survey in Chippenham, Devizes and Melksham.

Calne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check door thresholds in Calne homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Calne bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.

Water across much of Wiltshire is 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

A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
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
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat

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.

Is the home survey in Calne really free?

Do you cover SN11 in Calne?

Yes. We cover all of Calne, including SN11, and nearby Chippenham, Devizes and Melksham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
