    Massive problem involving chipboard flooring and underfloor heating.

    I wasn't actually there when he turned it on, he was doing it in the evenings and weekends as a foreigner for his mate. We did one day tiling came in the next and the heating was on.

    Massive problem involving chipboard flooring and underfloor heating.

    Thanks for all advice, much appreciated! I've a feeling it's going to be a complicated affair to resolve. Does anyone have any good advice on fixing the problem? Short of pulling everything out right back to the floor joists? I'm obviously not going to be doing it myself, lesson learnt there...

    Cheers for all replies, wasn't expecting much sympathy, I know how it works. Surprised by everyone saying back buttering is definite issue, but fair do's. Where do I expect it to go?... well my customer obviously wants it sorting, I have insurance which I hope and pray would cover it, otherwise...

    Massive problem involving chipboard flooring and underfloor heating.

    I'm a chippy, I fit a lot of kitchens and some bathrooms, inevitably I have done quite a bit of tiling, which I have learnt from older tradesman I have worked with in my early years in the trade. I've never had a complaint about my tiling, I don't class myself as a tiler, I can accurately cut a...
