What is the best way to run the plumbing in the new annexe?
The options are :
1) copper pipes under floor, buried in/under the concrete screed which has not been poured in yet.
2) everything in the loft, coming down the walls into the bathroom, kitchen, radiators.
3) Another option I was thinking is everything buried under the screed, but using flexible tubing inside larger diameter conduits so that in the event of a leak you could pull the damaged sections out and replace.
I do not like (1) because there is no possibility of repair if a leak.
I do not like (2) because someone will inadvertently hammer a nail into the wrong place in the wall and cause damage. Unless we somehow case and armour the vertical pipes from the loft?
How would you make it?
