copper pipe depth under the floor

[adamano]

hi guys,
can anyone tell me if there are any regulations about how far below the boards copper pipe has to be,
reason for asking, i am a tiler and went to tile an upstairs bathroom floor, the ply board needed screwing, i always use 25mm screws, you can see where its going now, i have apparently gone through a copper pipe causing a small flood in the ceiling, it took 24 hours to show itself, any help would be great thanks.

no regulation.

But it is relative to the scope for joist notching/drilling depending on the size of the joist.

thanks for that, si basically i can't get out of it then

not really.

I think you probably could

How can they prove it was your screw, and in any case they should have fixed the boards properly in the first place.
