Working in Lofthouse
We cover every part of Lofthouse, including LS10, LS26 and WF3, and nearby Wakefield (3.2 miles) and Morley (4.2 miles).
Lofthouse gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Lofthouse bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. If your Lofthouse bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer.
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 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
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.
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.
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.
