Working in Halewood

As well as Halewood itself (L26), we survey in Speke, Hunts Cross and Allerton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Halewood: free survey, written quote, one team. For Halewood homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. We check door thresholds in Halewood homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Supplies across most of Merseyside 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

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

Decisions to make first

Floor finish

Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.

Insulation board thickness

Thicker boards warm up faster and lose less heat downwards, but raise the floor; the right choice depends on the door threshold and the next room.

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.

Do you cover L26 in Halewood?

Yes. We cover all of Halewood, including L26, and nearby Speke, Hunts Cross and Allerton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Halewood?

Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
