Working in Mitcham

We cover every part of Mitcham, including CR4, SM4 and SW17, and nearby Morden (1.3 miles) and Wimbledon (2.2 miles).

London homes in Mitcham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Where a Mitcham home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. Whether your Mitcham 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
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 dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
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.

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.

Is the water hard in Mitcham?

Is underfloor heating enough to heat a bathroom on its own?

In a well-insulated bathroom with most of the floor open, it often is. In a small room, the bath, WC and furniture cover much of the floor, so the heated area may be too small to be the only heat source. A heated towel rail alongside is the usual answer.
