Thanks dude, I thought as much. Was just a bit concerned because the very back of it appears to have been more fully mortared in, although it wasn't even remotely connected to anything. I got worried that once upon a time, maybe it was connected to something important! Cheers, have a great evening

I had a loose/wobbly hearth in my daughter's bedroom, and since I was going to lay a new floor, I thought I'd just break it up and then I'd be able to OSB over it and get full floor coverage, which hasn't been possible since the hearth slab has always been there. Problem came that once I'd...

The solution was in the OP. The entire thread is about the solution. It ended up working flawlessly. Have a nice day!

Thanks for the in depth response, the junction box had "underfloor heating" taped to the bottom of the kitchen one, too, I just discovered, so it was definitely it, but now I'm thinking they just ripped the tails out at whatever source I now have no hope of finding since I assume it was...

Thanks for letting me know that. I just checked, and you're right, I'll fix that today. Really appreciate you pointing that out. When I saw it myself it seemed off, so I'm glad to hear someone else say it. I'll get something between them this afternoon.

Yeah, that's the real kicker here. The whole thing was ripped out after the flood, but when I look at the way most of the electrics have been wired in this house, I can't help but feel it was a reactive measure and not one taken because the heating elements were actually damaged.

No, I started a thread to get help with a black mould problem. I came back to update it.

Ok, that’s great, but my question is about locating the cold tails, so I’m not sure what that has to do with what I asked. Sorry to seem blunt, but I feel like the question I’ve asked is so far the only thing that hasn’t been addressed

Four month update: mould completely dead, everything bone dry inside the loft space. Zero moisture of any kind, and despite all the "still air" in the loft, absolutely no new mould present at all. Not one bit. It's almost as if...

The circuit is fine, I need to figure out where the cold tails are on the floor, but I don't know what they look like, and the picture are all I have to go on

That's a gas line, unrelated to the heating But as per my question, I'm trying to figure out where the cold tails are to connect the power to

HI everyone, We bought a house about five years ago, and it has a freezing cold kitchen, which we later learned has underfloor heating that was apparently damaged during a flood. Something tells me this isn't the case, and that it was just the electrics above surface that got damaged. I have...

Thanks so much, that was what I hoped. The roof needs replacing anyway, so I figured I might as well switch to a warm roof; good to know I can save the joists. Thanks for the reply!

No, definitely not seeking advice from people who don't know what they're talking about. I'm not sure that's particularly controversial, is it? I'm trying to solve a problem, not have someone tell me how little they understand it. Anyway, got all the info I needed - have remedied the situation...

Hmm, I see that you're incredibly insecure, and can't handle being wrong, so I'm sure we could go on and on and you'll drill down on the tiniest points in order to not accept that you were demonstrably incorrect. We could derail the thread entirely and make it about your low self-esteem, and...
