Hi,
I have a question about water regulations. Earlier this year we had a suspended timber floor in our front room ripped out a concrete slab poured. As a result, the water pipes coming into the building are now beneath the slab. The builder who laid the slab put some ducting in should we want to replace the water pipes in the future. I've read that the regulations say pipes should not be laid beneath the slab, but does this apply to pipes that are already there? I mean, has my builder followed the regulations or should he have laid new pipes through the conduit rather than leaving the old ones as they are?
