Working in Hornchurch
We work right across Hornchurch — RM2, RM11 and RM12 — and in neighbouring Romford and Dagenham.
In Hornchurch, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Where a Hornchurch home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. Whether your Hornchurch bathroom is a small en-suite or a large main bathroom, the mat is sized to the open floor, not the whole room.
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
- A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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
Decisions to make first
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
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.
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.
