If the floor had been walked on after the self level has dried, then yes it would cause slight cracking around the cables. Due to the cable being pushed into the insulation panels slightly.

Thanks for that.

I was thinking the same thing as the airline is directly on top of the cable/tape. I do regret covering all the cable in tape though, but i didn't want the cable to float during levelling.

Im not tiling it until the new year, after they have turned the heating on. Time will tell!

Thanks for all your replies.

What kind of tape did you use?
If the tapes got a shiny surface like Gaffa tape then the slc won't have taken to it.

If the slc isn't very thick over the wire then you could tease some of it off the top as it sounds like it hasn't stuck to the tape.
Personally I wouldn't worry about it as it will be fine once you spread your addy on the floor.
Buy a glue gun & try that next time.
I've used hundreds of bags of renovation screed & have never had a problem with it,
It flows really nice & you can almost get it perfect in one application.
