cable is contained within 10mm of SLC so its not exposed
I used a floor tile remover tool to remove them. The photos I have posted show the remians of the adhesive on top of the SLC.

Did the tiles come up as easy as it looks on your pics?
No had to use an angle grinder and a heavy duty floor tile removal tool.

And have you contacted them ? I cant think of any other reason for the system not to work.
Yes,
They cant undrstand why its not working either. I have sent the thermostat back to be tested.
If that comes back okay, my only option will be to take up the rest of the floor!!!

Thank you for the second lots of pictures sent to my e-mail address.
6 pictures from Tues 13th and the 5 from last night.
Peter, Steven, Adam and I have all been looking over your project since you first telephoned us on 28th Feb this year.
With the Resistance reading you have already told us about, the cable is prefect, so the short time you ran power to the cable alone, should have warmed the floor just right.
Please can you advice two more things?
a) Where is the floor sensor probe located, surround by?
b) What order are the different layers?
Warm regards, Keith

I am in the process of completing my last check by hooking up the UFH directly to the mains. If this dosent produce any results then thats it.
I will either have to rip up the floor and purchase new heating matt/cable and insulation (In big trouble with the wife!!!)
or have no UFH which is a real shame in a wet room!
What should I do???
ps Uheat have been very helpful. There just seem to be no reason for this not to work?

I have im just doing in one last time. Its been on for an hour and there hasnt been much of a change. Will leave it for another hour to see.
According to uheat it should be warm by this time
probe is located in a conduit in a groove within the insulation board. There cant be anything wrong with the cable as it dosent heat up connected to the mains
Well i have decided to take the plunge and rip up the floor and replace the UFH.
The wife is going to kill me, but I just like things done properly
No offence to all you professionals, but I am going to do this myself. Ijust want to make sure its done properly.
I am going to install 20mm marmox boards and then install a 200watt heating matt over the top. if this dosent heat the tiles I am moving to a country where you dont require heating!!
I may create a thread on my exploits. Where should i put this?
Wish me luck!!

iI wired the heating cable direct to the heating matt, and there was no difference. Therefore cant be a problem with the probe?
What tests can i do with the probe?
