Several years ago we had new central heating pipes laid in the floor of the living room which were going to be covered with screed once we did the rest of the room up. Plumber had just covered them in the felt lagging. The lagging was just fabric not the ones which also had a plastic backing so I was also wrapping the pipes up in gaffa tape which had been previously suggested by the plumber for some other pipes which had no covering what so ever.
I've since read on here that they should have been sleeved in plastic but we can't retro fit that and I'm now wondering on the best way to cover them to:
1. stop them being corroded by concrete
2. allow a bit of flexibility when they heat up and to take the radiator on or off as the pipes come up out of the floor straight to the radiator
3. We have a bit of damp in the floor so were recommended to paint over a damp seal to the whole floor
All advice welcome, I'll pop up some photos below
