Working in Rawtenstall

We cover every part of Rawtenstall, including BB4 and OL13, and nearby Haslingden (1.6 miles) and Ramsbottom (3.9 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rawtenstall: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Rawtenstall homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Whether your Rawtenstall bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.

Supplies across most of Lancashire 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

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
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured

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.

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 England

In England, a new circuit for underfloor heating is notifiable under Part P, and so is connecting it to an existing circuit in a room with a bath or shower. The electrician either self-certifies through a competent person scheme or the work is notified to building control.

Can underfloor heating go under vinyl or LVT?

Yes, with a compatible system and floor. Most vinyl and LVT makers set a maximum floor temperature, often lower than for tiles, so the thermostat's floor sensor is set to that limit. Tiles and stone remain the most efficient finish over underfloor heating.
