Bathroom Underfloor Heating in Longton
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
Underfloor heating is the one bathroom upgrade that Longton clients rate highest a year in — but only when it's been installed on top of proper insulation. Straight onto an uninsulated concrete slab and it's a heater for next door's ceiling.
We spec insulation board first (6mm or 10mm), then the electric mat or wet loop, then the tile adhesive rated for UFH. Thermostat gets sited away from towel-rail radiant heat and out of the shower spray zone so it reads the room properly.
When Longton homeowners ask us about bathroom fitting, the first thing we look at is the room itself.

Bathroom Underfloor Heating FAQs — Longton
- Electric mat or wet system for a Longton bathroom?
- Electric mats for retrofits and small rooms (under 6m²) — fast to install, low disruption. Wet loops make sense when we're doing your whole ground floor or the room's already tanked. We'll advise on your Longton job.
- Will underfloor heating work with any tile?
- Porcelain and natural stone spread heat best; some engineered vinyl tiles have UFH-rated versions. We check the tile spec against the system's max floor temperature before quoting your Longton install.
- How much does it add to a Longton bathroom refit?
- £450–£950 typically for an electric mat plus insulation board and thermostat, fitted and commissioned. Wet systems are more if there's no existing manifold.
- How long to warm up?
- 20–40 minutes on a well-insulated Longton bathroom floor with a modern thermostat and setback timer. Overnight setback keeps it quick each morning.
- How long does a full bathroom in Longton typically take?
- A standard family bathroom in Longton is usually 7 – 12 working days from strip-out to handover, depending on tiling area and structural changes.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Longton home liveable while the work runs.
