Yikes. That's nasty. Did you manage to salvage the UFH with a SLC or was it ruined?

Ruined mate, saved the tiles as they weren't attached! The UFH was a loss.

They were put down in 2008, customer bought the house last March, I found the house on Zoopla and they paid 950k for it, there is approx 300 m2 of tiling all fitted like this, it's only a matter of time before it all fails.
