Working in Ossett

We cover every part of Ossett, including WF5, WF12 and WF13, and nearby Dewsbury (2.1 miles) and Batley (2.7 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ossett: free survey, written quote, one team. We check door thresholds in Ossett homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly. Where a Ossett 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

For wet systems, pipes in low-profile boards or screed connected to a manifold or single-zone kit, with any boiler work done by a Gas Safe registered engineer
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
