Working in Canary Wharf
We cover every part of Canary Wharf, including E3, E14 and SE16, and nearby Bow (1.5 miles) and Canning Town (1.8 miles).
London homes in Canary Wharf often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Whether your Canary Wharf bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room. For Canary Wharf homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- 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
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.
Insulation board thickness
Thicker boards warm up faster and lose less heat downwards, but raise the floor; the right choice depends on the door threshold and the next room.
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.
