    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.

    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.

    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.

    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'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."

    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?

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.
