I know that plumbers like big notches
but I will need a couple of 28mm pipes run through (about) three joists to go from the new boiler position to the cylinder and CH pipes above.
The joist span is only 2400 between load-bearing walls
The pipes could be run close to the end, but the joists have already been notched once here for a basin waste
I like the idea of drilling through them, but this would presumably mean either plastic pipes bent and pushed, or a couple of short lengths with soldered joints.
Is either of these a bad idea? I will be getting a couple of quotes (if the boiler installers ever call back ) and want to have a clear idea of what is required without asking for anything unreasonable or unwise.
The old position is unsuitable due to proximity of windows and I don't want a great plume past them. The new position is nearer to the airing cupboard on the floor above and the gas and primary pipes route.
