Working in Stamford Hill
In Stamford Hill we cover E5, N15 and N16; we also cover Highbury, 1.7 miles away, and Tottenham.
In Stamford Hill, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Stamford Hill bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. If your Stamford Hill home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below.
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
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
- Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
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.
