I have an attached garage which has a utility area at the back of it, separated by a freestanding block wall (not supporting anything) and a doorway into the garage. I’m taking the wall down to free up more space in the garage and eventually let me knock through the back to make a ‘drive through garage’. There’s a combi boiler attached to the side wall of the utility venting outside. The CH and hot water pipework runs down the side wall and across the bottom of the block wall, then dips into the floor under the doorway and comes up under the floor of my dining room to feed all the rads and taps.
What are my options for putting the pipework underground? Would I be ok putting speedfit inside a 110mm soil pipe ‘duct’ filled with fibreglass insulation and a thin mortar ‘end cap’ to stop mice? What sort of depth do I need to put it? Would be easy to spot leaks and also let me run network cable through. I don’t need to put any in there, but I’m guessing power cabling through a water pipe duct is a no-no?
Thanks,
