Hi, We have taken up the floors and are now contemplating the next step of getting in the membrane, geocell, membrane, wet system UFH and then limecrete. But, there is usually one of those, the plumber says I cannot barrow in the limecrete over the UFH pipes, they will break. So how do I work this one out?

Tip it in one end and spread carefully
Make a bridge across the floor and barrow to where you need it and tip.
Come in from different ends of the room and spread.
It's hard to give better answers as I have no idea of room layout and access

Not really a limecrete issue and would apply to whatever screed material is used to cover the UFH pipework. Sounds to me as if the plumber is just being grumpy and awkward - ask him how UFH systems are usually installed.
When our UFH was laid, the builders did pretty much what Skier-Hughes has described. Some 2x4 timber laid between the UFH pipework and a few scaffolding planks can work wonders
