Working in Heckmondwike

In Heckmondwike we cover WF13, WF15 and WF16; we also cover Liversedge, 0.7 miles away, and Batley.

Heckmondwike gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Heckmondwike bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. We check door thresholds in Heckmondwike homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is 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
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
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

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.

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.
