Working in Fulham
We cover every part of Fulham, including SW5, SW6 and SW10, and nearby Chelsea (1.4 miles) and Putney (1.6 miles).
London homes in Fulham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Fulham home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Fulham home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
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
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- 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
Floor heating and towel rail
Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.
Floor finish
Tiles and stone pass heat through well. LVT and vinyl can work, but check the maximum floor temperature the flooring maker allows.
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.
