Advice to anyone laying wooden floors in future is to buy the clip systems
Gary, I have a similiar problem in existing house I am getting a guy in over the next few days with a thermographic camera he wants the system cold to take pictures of all the floors and then will pics with the heat on for a comparison to attemp to see where the leak is. I can let you know how I go the cost is in the 200 euro region.
He is not relation/friend of mine. I can let you know how I go.
I'm interested in this topic as I have a vaguely similar issue. Our (thermostat?) goes too high at times (just over 3) at which point my husband has to fiddle with a valve under the stairs (turn it off and then on). This seems to sort it for a while, but it's not a permanent fix. Also, separately, when we first turn the heating on there is a leak of water from the boiler itself for a short while. It fills a jug to about a quarter pint before it then stops. My husband thinks that the act of putting the heating on causes the water to leak from (clearly) a faulty pipe or area within the boiler, but that after a while it stops leaking because (I think) the pipe has by then expanded!! Does that make sense, and should we attempt to fix it ourselves (by taking the cover off the boiler and seeing if we can fix the hole/leak in the pipe)? Any advice appreciated.Interested in your conversation on an number of counts. Built house 7 years ago and am now stuck with no heating downstairs after a second 'unlocated leak'. Plumber brought in a guy with ultrasonic sensor 8 months ago (cost c250 Euro) and sussed first leak which cost total of 1600 Euro to fix. Recurrence of problem in last two months and now scratching my head (and wallet) as insurance will not cover repeated explorations. Have isolated upstairs so at least nights are warm. Fear that we could be ripping up floors every 6 months unless we route piping above ground. Any ideas on most 'sightly' and cost effective means of doing this? Also, what liability, if any, might rest with original plumber. Surely systems should be good for more than 7 years!!
