Working in Wood Green

In Wood Green we cover N8, N10 and N22; we also cover Muswell Hill, 1.3 miles away, and Tottenham.

In Wood Green, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Wood Green homes having the bathroom floor replaced, underfloor heating adds one to two days to the fit. Where a Wood Green home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Water across much of Greater London is 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
Resistance and insulation tests on the mat before, during and after tiling, with the readings recorded
Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
A check of the floor construction, the room's heat loss and where the thermostat and supply will go

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 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.

Is the water hard in Wood Green?

Who handles building control for bathroom underfloor heating in Wood Green?

Building control for Wood Green is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is electric underfloor heating expensive to run in a bathroom?

Running cost depends on the heated area, the insulation under the mat, how long it runs and your electricity tariff. As an example, a 150 W per m² mat covering 3 m² draws 450 W, so two hours a day uses about 0.9 kWh. A timer and floor sensor stop it running when nobody is using the room.
