UFH install...

Come in this morn and they said they've sorted it now.

They have run it across the floor (over the ufh cables of course) and now it goes into a hole in the boxing!

Love to hear their logic as to how that is any different :lol:

I just got on the phone to them and said its no better. They just said don't worry I've checked and it doesn't get hot enough to do any damage to anything and there's nothing in the boxing that would catch fire. THE BOXING IS MADE OF BLOODY WOOD AND IT'S SAT ON A WOODEN FLOOR!!!!

Is it worth all the hassle? If you cave in......your gonna get the phone call, not the cowboy builder??

Walk away........

Ok this is my situation. We've tiled 90sqm on ground floor plus 4 ensuite/bathrooms. This is the last to finish. The last time I kicked up a stink over a builders bodge I got knocked for what I had done up to that point. We really can't afford for that to happen on this job.
I've emailed the ufh company asking them to reply explaining what will happen if it's left as is so that I can show the builder then go from there :-/

Fair enough Stusgsx.

Can YOU not explain to the builder? & arrange to take UHF up and relay properly. If he has that much cabling left, it looks like he got the wrong size in the first place though??? No way would I cross the cables. Its asking to short out.

 

[stusgsx]

I've tried to explain to him but he won't have it. It is way too big for the room otherwise I would of re laid it myself. They know they have got it wrong but are not prepared to change it for correct size it seems

 

[CJ]

How big an area is the UHF?

Cannot understand and why he has gone to the expense of uncoupling membrane, but then stuffing up the job with that mess??

 

[stusgsx]

I think what they've done is measured out the room but not taken in account that there's a shower tray in there now!
As I said they are really particular about quality up to now anyway!

I measured up a bathroom at the start of the year & got too big a heat mat,
I started fitting it then realised it was far too large so rolled it back up went to CTD & bought a smaller one.
It's still lying in my garage, I will need to get it advertised..
