Lifting tiles from a UFH floor

kelbal

Hiya, we've just bought a house that has Under floor heating downstairs. Its was built in 2007. Some of the tiles in the kitchen area aren't laid the best → there's a bit of a wobble in 2 of them, and others aren't perfectly flush with the tiles beside them. I'd like to re-lay the tiles in a certain area. I'll get one of the suction type tile lifters. I'm just wondering though, is there a risk of damaging the UFH pipes when I try to lift the tiles? I've laid plenty of floor tiles in my old house, but have no experience with UFH. Just from seeing home renovation shows on TV, it seems like a concrete layer is poured over the UFH pipes which is let dry, and then this is tiled on. So I'd imagine if I'm reasonably delicate I won't do any damage - but I just thought I'd throw it up here to check there's nothing I'm missing

Thanks

Not likely unless you go at it with a kango
