Which towns do we cover in Dyfed?

Most of Dyfed is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Llanelli bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.

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
For wet systems, pipes in low-profile boards or screed connected to a manifold or single-zone kit, with any boiler work done by a Gas Safe registered engineer
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded

Decisions to make first

Mat or loose cable

Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

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 Wales

Electric underfloor heating in a bathroom must be on a circuit with 30 mA RCD protection under BS 7671, and the thermostat is positioned to suit the bathroom zones. There is no separate approval for the heating itself, but it should have its own thermostat and timer so it only runs when needed, and the electrical work must meet BS 7671 — in England and Wales it is notifiable as bathroom electrical work. Any work on a gas boiler for a wet system must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

In Wales, the Welsh Part P also makes a new underfloor heating circuit notifiable, and it covers more bathroom electrical work than the English version. A registered electrician handles the notification.

Is the water hard in Dyfed?

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
