Hi
I'm in the process of doing up my lounge and as part of the job I need to relocate a radiator. The issue I have is that the feed and return are currently both routed to the radiator in concrete.
My question is, what's the best technique for excavating copper pipes out of a concrete floor, to leave a good enough end to fit a new connection and re-route?
I'm quite comfortable with pipework and basic solder plumbing, chasing out the floor etc. What I'm worried about is that as soon as I start hacking at the concrete, I risk damaging the copper pipes contained within. Is there a "right" way to do this?
Thanks for your help
