Based in Deptford, London SE8 · covering London & Surrey
Warm, even heat from the ground up, with no radiators taking up wall space. We plan the heating and the floor finish together so it works efficiently and the tiles, stone or timber on top last.
Overview
Underfloor heating warms a room through the floor itself, using either electric heating mats or cables, or water-based pipes connected to your heating system. It sits beneath your tiles, stone or wooden floor.
Homeowners renovating bathrooms, kitchens and living spaces; anyone who wants to free up wall space from radiators; and those laying cold-feeling floors such as stone and porcelain.
Best installed during a bathroom renovation, kitchen refit or new floor, because it sits under the finished surface.
Underfloor heating has to be installed in the right order with insulation, levelling and the correct floor build-up. Done wrongly, it heats unevenly, wastes energy, or damages the floor covering above it.
The cost of getting it wrong
Getting underfloor heating wrong is costly because the fix usually means lifting the floor.
Poor layout leaves areas of the floor unheated.
Without insulation underneath, heat escapes downward instead of into the room.
Unsuitable materials or installation can lead to cracked tiles or moving wood.
Damaged cables or pipes found after tiling mean taking up finished flooring.
Our process
We look at the room, floor build-up and your choice of finish.
Heating type, layout and floor finish are agreed together.
Subfloor is prepared and insulated where needed.
Heating installed and checked before the floor finish goes down, with electrical work carried out with the relevant certificates.
Tiles, stone or timber laid on top and the system handed over.
What you get
Heat rises evenly across the whole room.
Fewer or no radiators to design around.
Takes the chill off porcelain and marble floors.
Heating and finish chosen together so both last.
30% to book, 35% at halfway, 35% on completion.
When fitted as part of a bathroom installation, the bathroom workmanship warranty applies.
In detail
Electric systems use thin mats or cables, are simpler to fit in a single room and add little floor height. They're common in bathrooms and kitchens.
Water-based systems circulate warm water through pipes and are often used for larger areas during whole-house renovations.
Tile and stone conduct heat well and are ideal over underfloor heating. Engineered wood can work with suitable systems. Thick rugs and some solid woods reduce performance.
In bathrooms, underfloor heating helps floors dry faster after use. In kitchens and open-plan rooms, it frees walls for units and furniture.
We install underfloor heating as part of bathroom and flooring projects across London and Surrey, including Richmond, Kew, Barnes, Wimbledon Village, Belgravia and Virginia Water.
No two projects are priced the same, which is why we don't publish fixed prices. The main factors are electric or water-based systems, the size and shape of the room, how much insulation is needed, the floor finish going on top, and whether the heating is being added as part of a wider bathroom or flooring project. The condition of what's already there matters too: a sound, flat surface is quicker to work on than one that needs repairing or rebuilding first.
The free quote visit is where these factors become clear. Emanuele will explain what's driving the price, flag anything that could change it once work starts, and give you a written quote so you can compare like for like. Payments are then staged at 30% to book, 35% at halfway and 35% on completion, so your money follows the progress you can see.
Underfloor heating works differently from radiators. It warms the room gently and evenly, so it's most efficient when it runs at lower, steady temperatures rather than being switched hard on and off. A programmable thermostat helps you heat the room when you actually use it.
Insulation under the system makes a significant difference: it directs heat up into the room instead of down into the floor structure, helping the system warm up faster and cost less to run. Rugs and heavy furniture over heated areas reduce output, so it's worth considering layout when planning where the heating goes.
Every layer added to a floor raises its height a little: insulation, the heating itself, levelling compound, adhesive and the finished floor. In a bathroom, that affects the door, the threshold and the height of the toilet and basin connections. We work out the full build-up before starting so doors close properly and transitions to neighbouring rooms are neat rather than an afterthought.
We work across Central, West, South West and South East London, plus Surrey, including Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, Richmond, Wimbledon, Clapham, Dulwich, Greenwich, Blackheath, Cobham and Esher. Popular areas for underfloor heating: Richmond, Kew, Barnes, Wimbledon Village, Belgravia, Virginia Water. See every area we cover.
Why Tilermate
Emanuele Campoccia trained as a tiler in Italy from a young age and has more than 20 years of experience. Since 2014 he has worked across London and Surrey on homes and commercial properties, and he still leads every project personally. When you call, you speak to the person responsible for the result, not a call centre or a salesperson.
Customers consistently mention the same things in their Google reviews: attention to detail, professionalism, clear communication and a clean, precise finish. Those reviews average 5.0, and several describe Emanuele checking not only his own work but that everything else on the project was done correctly.
The commercial side is kept simple. Quotes are free and written. Payments are staged at 30% to book, 35% at the halfway point and 35% on completion, so you're never paying far ahead of the work. Tilermate Interiors Ltd carries public liability insurance of up to £5 million, and bathroom installations come with a 2-year workmanship warranty from handover.
We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, on planned projects only. That focus means each job gets proper preparation and attention rather than being squeezed in between emergency call-outs.
