  1. @TempWe have an engineered oak floor going down over most of it and tile in the kitchen. @jothAs far as we know all the calculation have been done to qualify for the RHI. We don't know why the areas were left where the pipe was put directly on the floor? The only reason we can come up with was they were too lazy to cut the boards properly. If I had done the job myself I could easily have made all the boards fit the area without the need for anything to touch the ground. As far as digging out the floor, we did that ourselves before the plumbers even got started. The house heats up very well with this system in and retains a lot of the heat.
  2. Thank you all for your replies. We had though it would be a case of redoing the job and it is a great help to have it confirmed. @TonyT the board are about 25mm some are against the wall with no perimeter tape/insulation. @NickfromwalesI am pretty sure they had a route map with them when they started the job. I have had a good read up on what is involved and prepared to have a discussion with the plumbers as to what has to be done now.
  3. Hi, We have just had a new underfloor heating system installed and would like some feedback on the quality of work. We have a retrofit installation with insulation panels that has traces in it. Soon there should be a latex screed going down but the company doing the screed has said they cannot do anything until the insulation boards have been stuck down and the edges sealed so the boards don't float up. When the board were put down no adhesive was used, is this normal? Also the boards were not cut to the shape of the rooms and gaps were left. On the advise of the screed company the plumbers were asked to come back and fill them in as a huge amount of screed would be needed to fill them. The guys came back and filled in the gaps with boards they cut in to random piece and put in but again did not fix down. Finally they used some expanding foam around the edges but the board lifted due to not being stuck down. Anyway I have included some pictures to let you see for yourselves.
