Working in Canning Town
In Canning Town we cover E13, E14 and E16; we also cover Stratford, 1.6 miles away, and Bow.
In Canning Town, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Canning Town home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Canning Town 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 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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
