Chasing into the floor - Obstructions?

[skylined_gtr]

Hi All

I am hoping to chase a runner/track into my solid concrete floor in the living room but the problem I have is with knowing where the pipework (if any) travels.

I am sure I could probably use a detector of some sort for electrical and copper pipe but I'm guessing as it's in concrete there may be more chance of plastic pipework? Does that sound like its right?

Does anyone know if there is a way to figure out whats going through there? How would you do it? I need to get to a depth of about 5cm/2inch across the width of the room.

The house was built in 2001 (in case any regulations about the laying of pipework were made before)

Thanks in advance.

try turning all your rads, stats and timers on, when hot check for any heat/warmth where you want to channel
