Electric UFH Warmup Underfloor Not Getting Hot - Tile Advice

[Boothy01]

Hi my bathroom has underfloor heating and i had some work done in bathroom and now its not heating up the control panel says it is bt nothing any help would be good

 

[Ian]

Hello mate. What work have you had done? Anything that could have damaged the wire or thermostat?

 

[Boothy01]

Hi we have had a shower fitted in corner no floor tiles where moved as had quadrent raser kit there are no error codes showing it thinks its heating up

 

[Dan]

I'd do a continuity test on the cables going to the thermostat first of all. I assume it was working fine the shower went in? Best guess is something has upset it during that installation. Nothing been drilled into the floor or wall near where the cables go up to the stat?

Hi thanks not good at this the thermostat is in the airing cupboard and the wires go under floor boards to bathroom there is a white thin wire which i think is a temp probe if i get a plug and wire straight to plug will it heat up to test no breakege

 

[Dan]

Christ no don't do that.

You need to get a sparky in to test continuity. They'll have the tester you need.

Just got home and remembered had toilet moved to other wall plumber used. Fixing kit could the screws go thou it not shure what size they was

 

[Chalker]

Yes

If i move toilet out and remove the 2 tiles can i wire it back together and would u say this would cause this problem as the digital display dosent show a error

 

[Dave]

Sounds line toilet fixings have hit a wire , there are companies who can do repairs to ufh but it isn't practise to have cables under objects with no through airflow.

Hi i will move cable if this is problem as tiles are big and got spare but can it be wired bk together thanks

Warmup offer a repair service, was a couple of hundred pounds I think. Your plumber should be picking up the bill, if it was him that coursed the problem.
Before your go down that road get a local electrician, again your plumber will have someone he uses, to test the wires first.

I'm surprised the thermostat isn't showing an error, they usually do. Twisting the wire together could still cause a short, it needs to be repaired properly before you can determine if that is your issue.
