Working in Leeds

As well as Leeds itself (LS1, LS2, LS3 and 16 more postcode districts), we survey in Batley, Dewsbury and Wakefield.

In a city the size of Leeds, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Whether your Leeds bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. Where a Leeds home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

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

Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded

Decisions to make first

Thermostat

A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.

Floor finish

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

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.

Underfloor heating in Leeds: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom underfloor heating in Leeds?

Is the water hard in Leeds?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Leeds?

Building control for Leeds is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
