Wots yours......

[CJ]

Quote on this........and how long would it take YOU

75M Floor

Insulation panels

Underfloor heating (cable, connections already made. Guy is a spark)

Self level whole area (25 bags to be supplied)

Tile in 300x300 tiles.

All materials apart from the self level compound.

Colin,

Is this a loose wire UFH?
What floor substrate are the Insulation boards to be installed onto?
Are you sure 25 bags of SLC will be enough, how thick are the wires?
Are you supplying the insulation boards & UFH, too?
How many rooms?

Blah, blah, blah.......:lol:

One other thought.......75sqm of UFH is going to be a serious amount of wattage for a domestic consumer unit.

Colin,

Is this a loose wire UFH?....................................................................................Yes
What floor substrate are the Insulation boards to be installed onto?...........................Screed (been down since bungalow was built....good few years ago)
Are you sure 25 bags of SLC will be enough, how thick are the wires?.........................Usually work on 3m per bag, cables are I think 3mm
Are you supplying the insulation boards & UFH, too?................................................No.
How many rooms?.............................................................................................If I remember? 5 maybe 6
blah, blah.......:lol:

I know sparks who do either domestic or comercial, never twain shall meet.

I've got to be honest and say that I wouldn't like to even guess at what I would charge for this.

So he has the addy too? Are you happy with what he is supplying? Enough??

5 or 6 rooms with loose wire, I reckon you possibly have at least 2 days to install backer boards and wire. 1st question that arises is are the rooms separate systems, i.e. own thermostats and probes? If not, there will be issues.

Next, without a floor layout only you can assess how long it will take to SLC (and I still think you won't have enough SLC).

You've got 2 weeks work there as my un-sighted estimate??

Enjoy,

Daz

So he told me...........he's part P reg, so he is responsible if it blows

If not, there will be issues...................................................2 rooms are small en-suites. All are seperate Thermo's

Next, without a floor layout only you can assess how long it will take to SLC (and I still think you won't have enough SLC).........will get 30 and keep fingers crossed

You've got 2 weeks work there as my un-sighted estimate??................I reckoned 2 weeks myself

Enjoy,

Reason I am asking, is that I went to see this job last Wednesday, and he phoned me on the Thursday wanting the quote......................caught me on the hop, and I rushed the quote and gave him a verbal quote and cocked it up.
Forgot to quote for actually laying insulation and UFH cables.........Don't asked how I did that, cos I'm trying to suss that out myself.

Anyway, I had a letter from him today wanting me to confirm my (cocked up) quote. He was obviously savvy to my **** up and maybe he was trying to tie me down to it..................so now I have to phone him tomorrow and send him a revised quote and wait and see.

Just proves the point....

i've got a similar one to price up, i don't really fancy pricing it so i'm just going to tell him i'll do it on day rate, he can like it or lump it. i just finished the guys bathroom last week and i underpriced that :mad2:

Every UFH kit Ive fit recently states one stat runs upto 23m sq so you would be looking at separating areas and install with there own stat.

Laying loose wiring will be a nightmare but if you are woking in confined areas it may be beneficial, I would be so so carefull when walking around and moving items about intill everything is self-levelled and covered.

3m per bag of leveller might be a bit optomistic, Id allow another 5-8 bags to be sure (especially if the floor is uneven already)
