Working in Stratford

As well as Stratford itself (E7, E12 and E15), we survey in Bow, Canning Town and Canary Wharf.

London homes in Stratford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Stratford 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 Stratford home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

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

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
A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat

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.

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.
