Working in Dewsbury

We work right across Dewsbury — BD11, BD19, WF12 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Batley and Ossett.

In Dewsbury, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Dewsbury bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. We check door thresholds in Dewsbury homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Most of West Yorkshire 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.

What the job includes

Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
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
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
