Evening all,

I'm having an extension built onto the end of my house, garage downstairs, 2 bedrooms above.

I'm planning to put/have put pipes for central heating under the flooring so when I've got enough funding (after the builders bleed me dry + then some) the floors don't have to come up again to fit central heating.

Would any of you plumber types hazzard a guess to how much I'd be looking at paying a chap to design the system and basically tell me where to put the pipes in and what size (and anything else I'd need under there). Even if I cut the holes + 'dry' lay the pipes in for a man with blowtorch to glue them together. (Although I've done quite a bit of pipe soldering and haven't had a leaking one yet - touch wood  ).
Cheers

Without seeming rude why not? I use a auto pipe splicer (same as you guys) and he/she would I'm sure slip off the fitting to give a quick clean, put the flux on and check a nice clean cut and that the pipe goes all the way into the fitting. Is there any other reason or is that just the way it is?

Why don't you investigate doing it all yourself in Speedfit?
No soldering required, easier pipe runs etc, just use copper tails sticking up to make it look right when you fit the rads.
If it were me, I'd leave the final fitting until you buy the rads, ie leave a trapdoor in the floorboards where you anticipate the rad position, then fit the rad and pipe neatly downwards to the waiting speedfit under the floor.

Good luck!

Why not hire a consultant to oversee the jwork. That way you get to do all the work, except the gas and he can then commission the appliance.

Sticking with copper is a good plan. Far better.
