Working in Kilburn
In Kilburn we cover NW2, NW3 and NW6; we also cover Cricklewood, 1.1 miles away, and Camden Town.
London homes in Kilburn often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Kilburn bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Where a Kilburn 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
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- 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.
Mat or loose cable
Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.
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.
