Hi,

We just had gas central heating installed with all the pipes and radiators, etc.
our ground floor is concrete (very hard one, as the gas installer said). The gas installer digged a channel on concrete for lying the pipes. The problem now, in some parts, the pipes are a bit sticking out of the floor, some parts are ok. So, they are uneven.


To deepen the chanel is too late now. So we are thinking to put some sleeper wood to raise the floor a bit, so we do not put pressure on those pipes. But then, our ceiling is quite low, 2.3m, without the flooring that we Are going to install. So we can not afford putting a decent sleepers or sub flooring system which will raise at least 5cm before the engineered floor plank even put on top.

We have been researching about ways of putting subfloor on concrete. All we get is confusion, there are so many of them, none of them fit. Either the ceiling height problem, or the sticking out pipes problem. "Sigh"


Could anyone give advice what we could do best in this case please?

Thx a million in advance.
 
Hi,

I am not sure yet how to post pic and link it to this thread.

I'm in Reading, Uk.

If i put screed, will the uneven pipes be ok?

A plasterer said, those uneven pipes would cause leak on the joints if we keep stepping on them. Because in some parts the base of the channel is deeper and some others shallow. So confusing

Or use an external photo hosting site (pref. not Photobucket :wink: ) - much easier.

Why not get the people who put the pipes in like that to come back and do it properly?
