Working in Keighley
In Keighley we cover BD21 and BD22; we also cover Bingley, 3.1 miles away, and Baildon.
In Keighley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check door thresholds in Keighley homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Where a Keighley home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
Supplies across most of West Yorkshire 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 floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- 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
- 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.
Electric or wet
Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.
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.
