would need to know the loading of the ufh to determine the fuse/MCB size, as a rough guide, ufh is approx.150 -200 watts /sq.m, so if you have,say 10sq.m, that's 2kw, approx 9A. fuse/MCB should be sized to protect the cable to the ufh, so could be anywhere between 10A and 32A depending on how it's wired.
Every 5 years or change of tenant. Whichever comes sooner.
The Government WTF do they know, SFAThat is what is recommended but it is not obligatory according to the Gov site. 10 years for owner occupier home and five years for a tenanted property. Although I do know that agents like to do one after every new tenant.

You never know what not all but some tenants do.True, but that is what is recommended. I think every five years is good to be on the safe side. It is the Agents who say after every tenant there should be a check. But it is best to be safe I think.
20sq.m. equates to around 4kW, i.e 18A, so i'd expect on a 2.5mm cable with a 20A MCB/fuse. assuming all are on the same circuit. if split over more circuits, the the MCB/fuse rating may belower.
My Son is an Electrician, he is renting a property, no EICR it's a case of where can I rent at a good price? I know it's not right, but needs must I'm afraid, and until this excuse for a Government, become part of the real World we are doomed Mr Mainwaring, doomed. Stop fluffing around Mrs May, we don't have all of you privileges, or your money, think of the, what was the working population, all of you should be ashamed of your complete lack of knowledge of Mr and Mrs Average, stop thinking of who or what thinks of you, do the right thing, help the British people, because you aren't doing it yet. Look after number one, you constituents, well maybe not yours but you get my drift.True, but that is what is recommended. I think every five years is good to be on the safe side.

And on a related but slightly different topic, I think I may have just lost out on an EICR for a property being bought as a rental because the agent quoted the buyers a price of £80 for an EICR. Purchaser did ask why there was such a difference in the price, which I explained was mainly down to the fact that some of us are very diligent and that when we're asked to do an inspection, we don't go in and concoct problems to build a big remedial works bill. Time will tell whether that carries any weight.
It wasn't clear whether that was what the "electrician" would charge £80 or whether the agent would charge that... if the later... how much is the guy doing the inspection going to make?
Does the £80 include the agents cut?
