Working in Droitwich

As well as Droitwich itself (WR9), we survey in Bromsgrove, Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn.

Droitwich gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Droitwich home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. If your Droitwich home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.

Most of Worcestershire has moderately hard water. 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 check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
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

Decisions to make first

Electric or wet

Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.

Floor finish

Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.

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 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.
