I would have blank plated on the outside of the bathroom and fitted it on the inside, otherwise the room is going to be constantly calling for heat if it’s only running on air temp.
Builders should stick to bricks and cement. You was in a dificult position trying to help the lady out who had a shit job done. Well done Del
I agree about builders thanks for watching.
Hammer time! :)
WOW UR ROUGH AS WITH UR CHASES 😂😂😂
Yes this now has a good chance of overheating the floor as it tries to get to setpoint in another room.
Also please do an isolation test and make sure its behind an RCD. The manual also specifies this.
Another example of this guys poor knowledge. Just shows that someone with a little knowledge is dangerous
@@makg4655 🤣🤣🤣
You would be good at teaching your granny how to suck eggs.
Friend of mine spent 14 years happily turning up and down his heating wall thermostat according to the seasons in a new build. When he got a new extension built, the electrician called him over said how have you found the thermostat, he said grand, electrician said thats strange because its not connected to anything. No wires anywhere.
It was one of the earliest wireless thermostats.🤣
The placebo effect
That is going to be very expensive to operate.
Always on until the central heating fires up.
A floor tile really needs to be lifted and a sensor installed.
Lifting a floor tile could damage the heat mat so the whole floor would need to come up not worth the risk
@@Easydread You could drill through the wall and install the sensor behind a blank plate.
personally would have tested mat resistance was ok first before doing anything to save time. seems it was ok though luckily
Del....one can get really good over time , making good , around boxes ..etc...you get a feel for it..../ knew a joiner once , could run skim like a pro..
Not all heroes wear capes! Good work Sir
Thanks for watching.
Great video dell .love the channel 👏👏👏
Thanks for watching
I've got a makita multi tool, Jig saw and torch all 18v and 4 or 5 batteries in the garage if you would like them.
Ill give ya £50 if your in london
A very crude fix as long as the customer knows that the bathroom floor temperature will only get as warm as the area the sensor is located.
Shouldn't have started without IR / continuity tests.
Well done Delroy. Great to see a pro at it. If you checked the resistance on the mat you know if the element is good. Rescued a crap job. The air sensor better than nothing but as you said not ideal.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and the comments.
Del and @mainly_electrical are the best electrical content, they always give us faults, real life issues.. then resolve them. Majority UTube sparks, want to show us new install, to show off their brand. Faults / repair over shiny new installs any day the week 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing Del. Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching.
I've seen some shoddy workmanship before but this is among the top 10. I found an outlet once where the screw wasn't done up at all. it's like they backed it right the way out to insert the wire and never tightened it at all. Imagine finding that when a customer calls you in to fix a faulty socket that "works intermittently."
Good work Del. But whoever did the skimming job made a right mess of it. On the skirting, on the frame and on the wallpaper. I used to work with a local electrician doing that very job and took pride in making it good and clean as possible, ready to decorate. Anyway, love your video's Del. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching, I'm no expert on plastering, but even I wasn't too impressed.
You should be able to do a resistance test on the mat connections to see if there is a circuit. The set up is weird, why the fused switch near the skirting board and why no warranty?
She’ll be like a cat on a hot tin roof 😂
Well when they buy it there’s a resistance on the box u supposed check with there meter
“Teaching your granny how to suck eggs” is his only response to incompetence I’m afraid. Clearly no idea
Great Job Del 👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
What we're the IR and resistance results?
Nice job del shame there was no floor sensor but you done the best you can. I had the same thoughts the other day with a scolmore click switched fused spur on a boiler, the fuse carrier is too close to the switch so you have to switch it on to extract the fuse. Crazy
Thanks for watching.
Bathroom fitter laughing all the way to the next job. I had a ceiling extractor above shower in brand new bathroom. Went straight into the loft insulation, no ducting at all! That's the sort of quality workmanship you'll get from a Bathstore fitter. Mould everywhere in the loft all timbers white with mould. Horrendous.
Couldn’t the external sensor have been put in a small enclosure on the other side of the wall (in the room with the heating mat)?
Needs to be in the webbing of the mat
Wouldn’t want that electric bill🤪
I doubt she'll have a problem, the area of the bathroom that's served is very small. I'm sure if her bills were high because of it she would have contacted me by now.
if sensor not in floor pointless having it
I was asked to pick up a bodged underfloor heating job, the builders had installed the sensor cable the wrong way round - yes, the sensor end was behind the control panel !
@@loosecannon5813 🙄 I had my house built from new and 24 years later I am still finding shit they farked up.
Builders are cow boy electrician's should be a Criminal offense If not.
Qualified? Or competent Well done great job you did 😊.
Good job neet also
😂
Thanks for watching
Surely you test it’s working before you start telling the customer what you’re doing and start chasing walls out. 🙈
You would be good at teaching your granny how to suck eggs
Five quotes and went with the cheapest. No sympathy.
Bet the downlights are a laugh
They are controlled by the sensor in the garden
Get the client to report the builder to trading standards and take the builder to a small claims court. Then that will pay for your work 👍
They have the power also to take them to court for not being NICEIC registered and not using qualified competent persons.
hmmmmmmm
no
your work is nice, but it's a bad job without the sensor, and that plastering is worse than mine - that's bad
Great content Deltoy as always.
