God knows I've looked and looked, but cannot really decide on what to do here. I have laid heating pipes into my new extension. I took care to make sure that there were no joins in the part that will be buried in screed. All pipes were clipped nicely and have been lagged using normal foam insulation. As you can see from the pic, my Wife was a little over the top with cable ties, but I wanted to make sure it was all closed up. Of course the 'tails' have been trimmed off now.
It is all connected, to check that the pipes are leak-free, they have been for a couple of weeks now as I wanted to be sure. Now we are getting closer to having the floor screeded, I am beginning to panic. When I decided to do it like this, I had been speaking to a good friend of mine who is an Electrician and tells me that 'on site' with a lot of new builds, from what he has seen, to do it as well as I have done would be abnormal.
Do I need to be concerned about whether this lagging is adequate? Is there anything else I can do that doesn't involve ripping it out and starting again? The screed will be 75-80mm deep, so there is scope for something else over the top of the pipes if that is an acceptable solution?
