Working in Kidderminster
We cover every part of Kidderminster, including DY10 and DY11, and nearby Stourport-on-Severn (3.6 miles) and Stourbridge (6.5 miles).
In Kidderminster, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Kidderminster homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. If your Kidderminster home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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.
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.
