well in the 17th, floor and ceiling heating systems is now a special installation/location, in Section 753

I cant vouch for what has 'changed', but there are three pages in there for it, but the big thing to consider is that UFH in bathrooms would mean you would have to consider Section 753 AND Section 701 (Bathrooms), and 701 has changed considerably!! (RCD's, Zones, Supp bonding etc)

be worth you digging it out and having a look

If you don't understand what Shakey is saying then you should not be dabbling with the electrical side of the installation. May I suggest, for your own professional standing and the safety of your good clients, you get a registered electrical contractor to take charge of electrical side of your work. You will then be able to sleep soundly! Hope this helps!
