In a council owned building - recently built. Neat conduit instalation
dropping mains down to a spur outlet feeding a convector heater.

But - partway down the wall was a Besa Box with a room thermostat that
controls the heater. Mmmm!

If it is conduit, the thermostat could easily be wired after the FCU.

I was thinking about the heater affecting the thermostat.

It would make the heating cheaper to run.

A fan heater has the thermostat built in. Central heating rads a
thermostatic valve attached to them

And whole house central heating mostly has separate thermostats.

It is bad practice to place a thermostat where it will be "directly"
influenced by the output of the heater. Having it a couple of feet above an
electric convector will assure that the heating turns off as soon as the
heater starts to output any useful heat.
