Hi
I am laying a new laminate floor in my living room and am taking the opportunity whilst the floors are uncovered to replace the radiator. The pipework runs under the floor for the length of the room until the window alcove where the radiator sits. Then because of a steel beam which runs the length of the alcove.
[Along the bottom of the pic].
The pipes come up through the floor and travel around the perimeter of the alcove to connect to the radiator.

Right hand side
No space to go around or under the beam. So is it acceptable to cut a chase where the pipe meets the wall to go over the beam then continue under the floor to the radiator as usual?

This is all going to go behind the skirting which I will fix back on with grip adhesive.
