I think you mean the sand and cement screed which will be the finished floor. YES its fine to bury them in this.
If its the concrete sub floor you mean then NO.
Use insulation on your pipes to protect them from the screed.

Wrap them in tape with a 50% over wrap. Sorry i cant for the life of me remember the name of the tape, but its yellow and about 60mm wide.

I get mine from Plumbase and the like.

Thats something either a fully fledged cowboy or a diyer would be doing.

Not going down this road again with you, you clearly dont know what a 50% over wrap is.

Denso tape with a 50% overwrap is fine, although plastic sleeving is a far better job.

and it sure as hell ain't so messy

Its something a bodger would use.
Insulation on the pipe is best.

Armaflex is a good choice.

Neither Armaflex or the good old hair felt is water proof, since were taking of cowboys.

guess what the wet cement does when you lay the screed.

Who's talking about a wet screed.
Sand and cement screeds are semi dry and anyway the Armaflex is water proof.

But Armaflex is insulation not protection

Your house must be a sight too see
