Working in Larkhall

We work right across Larkhall — ML9 — and in neighbouring Wishaw and Hamilton.

Larkhall gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check door thresholds in Larkhall homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. If your Larkhall bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire are soft. 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.

What the job includes

A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go

Decisions to make first

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.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland has no Part P. Underfloor heating added during a straight bathroom refit rarely needs a building warrant on its own, but it must be installed, tested and certified to BS 7671 with RCD protection.
