What can change a real Leeds quote?

  • Electric or wet system
  • Heated floor area
  • New build or retrofit
  • Insulation level
  • Screed and floor build-up
  • Controls and heating source

Local planning considerations

Use the regional figures to set a budget, then refine it with project size, condition and finish choices in the calculators.

  • Site levels and access can change groundworks, retaining, landscaping and extension costs independently of the regional model.
  • Traditional masonry or older property fabric may require specialist repair methods rather than a standard new-build allowance.
  • Keep specification, professional fees and access costs visible when comparing a calculator result with local quotes.

How the regional model works

The live underfloor-heating calculator applies 22% of the broad Yorkshire regional difference because UFH includes both nationally priced system components and local installation labour. The resulting Leeds factor is 0.985× and is applied to the current system-specific cost-per-m² benchmarks.
