Plastic overlay ufh!!!! - TilersForums.com

I walked away from a job last year when the builder attached plastic ufh pipes to a radiator and then buried the pipes in the floor.

Well the deed has been done and I’ve informed my customer of the issues, they were really grateful and have put the issue to the plumber concerned in writing. They have stated to him to do the job correctly or walk away and I’ll do it for them. I still dread to think how much more he will try to charge, though this shouldn’t be my concern if they are happy to pay
Who Thinks I may have upset the plumber with this lol

You’ve done the right thing. No Plumber worth his salt would be running an UFH system off a TRV. The idea is just demented.

Being honest, why on earth would the customer be entertaining the idea of using that guy, now that you’ve pointed out the flaws in his methods. Hopefully they trust in what you’ve said and make the right decision

I know they have trusted me on this but I have backed up my case by attaching in my email the manufacturers installation video showing what’s required and another link to an manufacturer showing why and how each part is required.
I’ve well and truly shot his method to shreds

You have done the right thing your work needs to go on top of this and it needs to be 100 per cent correct which it was obviously not . Kop

well tomorrow the plumber has decided to meet on site with me and the customer, he now reckons a blending valve will be fitted and that’s all required lol
What sort of dream land is this plonker in

Uh oh!

I’d have moved on to the next job by now. Too much risk working with people you have to constantly look over. Lay it on the line, let the customer make the decision. My way or the highway
