Is he going to attempt the retile himself, or is he getting in a professional in this time?
Good to see he wants a happy customer and happy to work right.

As for your job, i hope all well matt, your patience is to be commended

Thanks for your kind words as before. On the football, I see you're from Burnley, so that would be about right.
Take care and thanks

Brilliant stuff.

You can't leave before the climax, as the mrs says.

So take some snaps during the refit for us!

Can't wait for the finished working heated product!

Not entirely clear on that detail. As all of this was in the preparation, just happy for the minute that that is where the focus is. Amazing today that talking to him, he knew exactly what to do but said he did it all super quick because the kitchen delivery date was set and by then not renegotiable (could have been and had already delayed it once to give him an extra week -during which we didn't see him). Bonkers. A couple of hundred quid for warehouse storage would have been a better plan. Real worry for him is whether he's learned anything. I'm not sure he has. Oh well.
Thanks for your interest.

Definitely owe you all some before and after snaps - as well as a pint
Following up on your UFH suggestions with a couple of suppliers. Much appreciated

Thinking about it.

I'd have a thermostat for each floor. And let them have their own cables. Your wood one won't take long to heat. It'll never get as cold as the other area. So you don't want it switching on with the concrete side.

I'd go with treating them as different areas. It might feel annoying only feeling one side warming on its own every now and again but on cold days the whole thing will be on. Warm days maybe just the concrete side.

Was thinking the same Dan, but if both have insulation boards there really should be no noticeable difference in heat up time.
But for the cost of a thermostat and the ability to have more control over the temperatures, then separate ones is good

Ahhhh while insulation boards have insulating values; they're not a material that will totally block out temperature changes.

Hence the varying thicknesses available. Even 4mm difference between 6mm and 10mm is noticeable.

I used to run Advanced Floor Heating. Waaaay back when only a few heating brands were available. Paul Short (of floor heating ltd) and then myself started this trend off of this blue insulation. I know quite a bit about it.
