    UFH - Chipboard flooring above aluminium spreader plates

    The UFH setup was designed by the heat pump engineer. He's coming back to discuss the options with us. Apparently he did discuss using the cementitious board with the builders, which they've not done. On the ground floor we only have one zone.

    UFH - Chipboard flooring above aluminium spreader plates

    Yes, it's just the retrofitted area that's the problem. The underfloor heating in the extension is working well, this had screed poured over it. Absolutely we'll be taking this up with the builders, I'm trying to establish all the facts before I deal with them.

    Thanks, that's useful to know, although obviously not what I wanted to hear. The UFH in the main extension was fitted by a specialist company sorted by the builder.

The bit of board I removed isn't routed, and, I'm asssuming that as the spreader plates were used none of the other boards are routed. Wouldn't it be a case of...

    UFH - Chipboard flooring above aluminium spreader plates

    As part of a renovation project, we have had underfloor heating retrofitted downstairs in two rooms and a hallway. Insulation has been added between the joists and then pipes (16mm I think) have been laid across aluminium spreader plates. Above this is 22mm chipboard flooring. The rest of the...

    Waste pipe causing blockage in soil pipe

    Hi. We had a blocked toilet on a recently installed new bathroom and I've been out to look at the soil pipe. It had overflowed into the gutter. I could see that the blockage was sitting on a waste pipe that spans almost the entire width of the soil pipe. It was effectively forming a shelf for...
