Working in Shepherds Bush
We cover every part of Shepherds Bush, including W11, W12 and W14, and nearby Chiswick (1.8 miles) and Fulham (1.9 miles).
In Shepherds Bush, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Shepherds Bush bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. For Shepherds Bush homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit.
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
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
Thermostat
A simple dial thermostat, a programmable one with set times, or a smart thermostat you can control from your phone.
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.
