ELECTRIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING IN BATHROOM

[davphi338]

Hi,

I am thinking of fitting electric underfloor heating in my ensuite. I want to do as much of the work as possible myself.

With respect to part P regulations what will I have to get an electrician in for and what can I do myself. i.e can I lay the underfloor matting leave the connection lead loose near a suitable power connection and then get an electrician in for the final connection.

thanks

Involve your electrician before you start
Make sure he is on here: www.competentperson.co.uk

No probs for you to lay the mat and bring the probe & element wiring to the point for the controller.

Sparks will need to make sure the supply is on an RCD protected circuit, or supply one for the feed

He will need to make sure the supplementary bonding in the bathroom is done correctly and include the floor heating in the bonding scheme.

If you dont do this you may find that he will want to run green and yellow wires over the top of your nice new tiling!
