UPDATE : the neighbours fire started in their utility room and an inspector has to ascertain what started to burn it could be faulty electrics, the linky meter or their underfloor heating controller. He mentioned to me that they might have to go to a tribunal if it is found faulty electrics, or have a case against Enedis/EDF if it was the linky. Their house was less than 10 years old. They're being advised by an insurance expert, in fact the same one we had work for us after our fire. It could be 2 years before they have rebuilt the house, everything has to be demolished. He told me that with underfloor heating in the case of a house fire, the pipes under the floor may have exploded with the heat of the fire. The commune is pulling together with donations of clothes, toys etc. That's a long time to wait, I wrongly assumed it was an old building. |

I've heard before of underfloor heating thermostats overheating and burning.

The UFH pipes wont have exploded, if the fire is as bad as you say they will have burnt or melted down to the finshed floor level, as the insurers will be returning the house to new condition they will have to remove all the floor tiling and the chape liquide underneath and renew all of the UFH pipes, they can't be seen to be bodging and digging up a localised section to splice in new pipe tails, there should be no joins under the floor although I bet there are unseen in many properties.
