will be dry as a bone and any cracking would have happened by now. I'd just get tiling...

Its not as simple as that ! You need the heat loss per room to work out the spacings - I have some with 200mm, and some with 150mm...! You can always run it a bit cooler and maximise the COP on the ASHP - running it hotter as you've spaced out further may give you other issues

Did the mum do an hour or two on the Naughty Step then? Or maybe the daughter did?

Might that be to do with the fact that a vanishingly small proportion of houses in the UK actually have them fitted?

Chip away the internal wall / skim and use a multi tool to cut the sleeve. Screw the tap on and then push the bend fully on.

I think it's more accurate to say that they heat "things" rather than "air". Knowing what I know now, I think we'd have gone for electric UFH. I suspect you only need it on for a short period to take the chill off.

Its got 101 uses but be careful as the edges can be sharp so if you pull anything through a loop of it then it can cut into it.

All looking good this morning with no leaks inside! Got to put the outside tap on and screw it to the wall later today. I'll put a good slug of mastic behind the flange plate to seal the pipe entry and use brass or st/st screws. Need to then I think reinstate some sort of meter "pit" around where this stop cock is just inside the fence. The side you can't see is still iron, about 10' or so that runs under the fence to the meter at the roadside. Think that bits on borrowed time but if it does go it's down to the water board. I just went to make it easy for them! One thought was to carefully cut down a blue plastic barrel with lid, sink that level and then fill with loose EPS packing type beads. If it did need to be accessed later I could just unscrew the lid and scoop out the EPS? (Then backfill the trench half depth, put in the CCTV duct etc). P.S. A big thanks to all for taking the patience whilst I relearnt my plumbing skills (if I ever had any). Hopefully the marks on Nick's forehead where he's been banging it against the wall will fade.....
