Moving Central Heating Pipes In Concrete Floor

Hiding radiator pipes and concrete floors.

Moving central heating pipes in concrete floor.

I recemtly ran central heating pipes in a concreter floor i chased out a trench allowing for 2 x 15mm pipes and also for lagging and expansion. However legislation suggests. The cda certainly suggest that embedding pipes in concrete is acceptable. Ive got concrete floors downstairs plumber a has suggested cutting into the concrete and putting the pipes in there covering it with sand i think to protect it.

I want to replace this with oil fired central heating. There s a very strong chance that there are central heating pipes where i want to remove concrete. I need to remove some concrete from my living room floor for two reasons. The aim is to have very few pipes showing.

Status not open for further replies. Water regs have guidelines and regs. Up into the loft and down a corner or behind a curtain. Plumber b has said its better boxed in and running along the skir.

I have recently bought a house with an electric heating. Floor is to get leveling compound then cardine flooring when finished. Start digging out channels in your concrete floor and bury the pipes in there. Pipes where there are joints need to be accessible in case anything fails.

As the house has concrete floors i don t want to rip the floors up to get the central heating installed and want the pipes to run down the wall through cupboards etc. Ive had a couple of quotes regarding re piping my central heating. Build out the whole wall and hide it in the cavity behind the skirting.
