UFH install...

[stusgsx]

Errr discuss?!

 

[Qwerty]

A house fire waiting to happen! Cowboys by any chance?

 

[stusgsx]

Well I thought they were a great company being really particular with everything but then I see this! Bathroom has the same except the cables are chucked under the bath!

 

[Colour Republic]

Faulty tape measure?

 

[Diggy]

Holy C%*p :yikes:

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Oh dear.......lost for words

 

[Dan]

Jesus christ who's done that?

 

[stusgsx]

I'm guessing the "sparky"
Had no one to highlight my concerns to today so will say something tomorrow but no doubt it will get ignored

I had a similar one a whiule back excess wire under kitchen units, told builder i won't be tiling floor, thats ok then he said i'll cut the wire! i walked off until correct mat was installed 2 days later.

 

[stusgsx]

And the builder says...."it's ok it only gets warm"

 

[cam_low]

Lmao. Builders should be banned from life!!

 

[CJ]

Shocking......literally. :yikes:

Come in this morn and they said they've sorted it now.

They have run it across the floor (over the ufh cables of course) and now it goes into a hole in the boxing!

It gets better.
There has to be minimum spacing between the wires.

 

[Qwerty]

I would be walking away!

Love to hear their logic as to how that is any different :lol:

 

[stusgsx]

I just got on the phone to them and said its no better. They just said don't worry I've checked and it doesn't get hot enough to do any damage to anything and there's nothing in the boxing that would catch fire. THE BOXING IS MADE OF BLOODY WOOD AND IT'S SAT ON A WOODEN FLOOR!!!!

 

[CJ]

Is it worth all the hassle? If you cave in......your gonna get the phone call, not the cowboy builder??

Walk away........

 

[stusgsx]

Ok this is my situation. We've tiled 90sqm on ground floor plus 4 ensuite/bathrooms. This is the last to finish. The last time I kicked up a stink over a builders bodge I got knocked for what I had done up to that point. We really can't afford for that to happen on this job.
I've emailed the ufh company asking them to reply explaining what will happen if it's left as is so that I can show the builder then go from there :-/

 

[CJ]

Fair enough Stusgsx.

Can YOU not explain to the builder? & arrange to take UHF up and relay properly. If he has that much cabling left, it looks like he got the wrong size in the first place though??? No way would I cross the cables. Its asking to short out.

 

[stusgsx]

I've tried to explain to him but he won't have it. It is way too big for the room otherwise I would of re laid it myself. They know they have got it wrong but are not prepared to change it for correct size it seems

 

[CJ]

How big an area is the UHF?

Cannot understand and why he has gone to the expense of uncoupling membrane, but then stuffing up the job with that mess??

 

[stusgsx]

I think what they've done is measured out the room but not taken in account that there's a shower tray in there now!
As I said they are really particular about quality up to now anyway!

 

[Stef]

I measured up a bathroom at the start of the year & got too big a heat mat,
I started fitting it then realised it was far too large so rolled it back up went to CTD & bought a smaller one.
It's still lying in my garage, I will need to get it advertised..
