Electric Underfloor Heating in Bristol: Electric underfloor heating uses heating mats or loose cables laid under the floor finish, connected to a thermostat and a protected circuit. Cardiff Electrician wires underfloor heating systems, fits thermostats and floor sensors, and tests the heating element before and after the floor is laid.
Electric Underfloor Heating for Bristol homes
13% of homes in Bristol rely on electricity alone for heating (Census 2021). Whether you are replacing old storage heaters, adding a heated floor to a new bathroom or warming a cold extension, the circuit has to be sized and protected correctly from the start.
Housing figures: ONS Census 2021.
Electric underfloor heating is a popular choice in Cardiff homes for bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories and extensions, where it gives even warmth and frees up wall space. It suits renovations because it adds very little height to the floor, but it has to be planned with the floor layer and wired correctly to work for years.
Jorge checks the heating load against your circuits, agrees the thermostat position and works with your fitter so the system is tested at the right stages. Once mats are tiled over they cannot easily be repaired, so we test the element before, during and after the floor goes down.
Signs you need it
- You are renovating a bathroom, kitchen or extension
- Cold tiled floors make a room uncomfortable
- You want to free up wall space taken by radiators
- You have bought an underfloor heating kit and need it connected
- An existing system has stopped heating or trips the RCD
What's included
Load and circuit check
We calculate the heating load from the mat or cable size and confirm whether it can run from an existing circuit or needs its own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit.
Thermostat and floor sensor
We fit a programmable or smart thermostat, outside the bathroom zones where required, with a floor probe so the floor heats to a comfortable and safe temperature.
Staged testing
We test the heating element's resistance and insulation before it is laid, after it is covered and once the floor is finished, so any damage is caught early.
RCD protection and certificate
The heating circuit is RCD protected in line with BS 7671, fully tested on completion and recorded on the relevant certificate for the work carried out.

Questions about electric underfloor heating in Bristol

Do you lay the heating mats?
We handle the electrical side: the supply, thermostat, floor sensor, connection and testing at each stage. Mats are often laid by your floor or tile fitter, as they sit in the adhesive or screed. We coordinate with floor fitters across Cardiff, and can advise on layout so cold spots and unheated areas are avoided.
Can underfloor heating go in a bathroom?
Yes, and bathrooms are one of the most popular places for it. BS 7671 requires RCD protection and the heating element must have a suitable earthed covering or grid. The thermostat usually goes outside the bathroom with only the floor sensor inside. We plan it to suit your layout.
What affects the cost of underfloor heating wiring?
The size of the heated area, whether a new circuit is needed, the type of thermostat, the distance from the consumer unit and how the work fits around your floor fitter. A small en suite on an existing circuit is a simpler job than a large open-plan kitchen extension.
Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run?
Running costs depend on the room size, insulation, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. It works best in well-insulated rooms with insulation boards under the mat. A programmable thermostat helps by only heating the floor when you need it.

I had a number of small electrical jobs for Jorge to do. He completed everything quickly, professionally and to a high standard. Jorge was very polite and helpful and clearly takes pride in his work. I would 100% call him if I need more electrical work doing.
I have been a private landlord 25 years and can count the reviews I've left on one hand. I've known Jorge several years. He is a trusted professional, timely and charges competitive rates.
We initially asked Jorge to help us after being let down by another electrician, and he was only too happy to help make some bad work safe... Jorge always explains what is going on and helps us understand more about how electrics work. He is thorough, leaves no mess behind and very reliable.
