Working in Bexley
In Bexley we cover DA5, DA6, DA14 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Dartford, 2.8 miles away, and Swanley.
In Bexley, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Bexley bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. We check door thresholds in Bexley homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- 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
Electric or wet
Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
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.
