Working in Ruislip
As well as Ruislip itself (HA4, HA5 and UB10), we survey in Northolt, Uxbridge and Harrow.
In Ruislip, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Where a Ruislip home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric. We check door thresholds in Ruislip homes at the survey, because underfloor heating and new tiles raise the floor slightly.
Supplies across most of Greater London are 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
- 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
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- A dial, programmable or smart thermostat, with the supply RCD protected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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.
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.
