Talking of pee, looks like I'm going to have to get my head around septic tanks and the like but suppose that would be one for the plumbers.

pete , you reallly have got a case of slow today. good job you're not on price work. :D
 
No Septic Tanks living next door as far as I'm aware. Still, I'm quarter Sweaty Sock so what does that make me?
 
Alan , the contactor coil is probably activated by a room 'stat for zone/s where the thermostat can't handle the loading of the heating direct.
 
If the system's that old best chop it off and forget about it. Had several properties from the late 60s/early 70s with electric UFH. Cost a fortune to run when they worked and most had failed by the late 90s.
 
FYI chaps been in the house for two weeks now and underfloor heating is still working.
Yes, there are room stats.

Ooh lovely. They don't make them like that anymore.

I did do a flat refurb a few years ago, it had the same type of system. the customer wanted to keep it.
A quick zap with the IR tester showed him that it was no longer a going concern. Bad IR in two rooms, no continuity in a third.
Gas had been laid on to the apartment block, so wet underfloor heating was put in. It raised the entire floor level by a bit, but it was worth it.
