Mains Electrical feed to UFH

[Steve_bcs]

I'm planning to install a U-Heat mat in a small en-suite. Never done one before. The thermostat will be on the adjacent bedroom wall. What is the recommended method of providing the live feed to the thermostat/on off switch unit? From a fused connection unit, switched fused connection unit or a spur off a nearby ring socket? The walls are studs and not yet plasterboarded in the en-suite. The ring is RCD protected at the Consumer Unit. tia

That would be one way, or a new radial circuit from the CU, a small ensuite, the ufh mat would probably be a low load.

spur off rfc. fit a double pole SFCU so that in the event of a fault in the ufh, both poles can be isolated locally.

Great, thx guys. Local SFCU it is!

The work could be notifiable to lbc.

Think your out on a bit of a limb on that. Above a ceiling in a zone perhaps, but not when your stood on the stuff, with just a tile for separation?

underfloor heating is notifiable irrespective of whether it's in a bathroom or not.
