Central heating pipe goes through joist - is this a cause of dry rot?

[imanovicehelp]

Hi all,

I recently had a dry rot survey done and they recommended before any work to be carried out that one of the pipes that connects from the living room into the kitchen goes through the joist be altered.

My question is that is this a possible cause of dry rot due to condensation as it heats and cools or is it something that's trivial and is OK to have? Not too sure what the regs say but the house is quite old, from the 50s. Photo attached. The pipework goes through the joist at the end. The joist sits inside the brickwork.

No.

OP,
Condensation from the pipe will have nothing to do with the dry rot - leaks or lack of through ventilation are more likely causes.
Your pic doesn't give enough info - why not pic a larger context - stand back & show inside & outside the hole in the floor??
The above pic is from which room - what does it look like on the other side in the other room?

Whoever is going to do the work maybe wants the pipe out of the way so that they can replace the dry rotted joist & do any other work in that area?
Plus the pipe &/or tee fitting might be leaking - or the flex connector might be leaking?
Its a simple plumbing matter to rearrange the pipework.

You show a Yorkshire Tee - Yorkshire fittings dont need end feeding.

The dry rot, is entering via that wall, which supports the joint. Heating pipes never get cold enough, to attract condensation.
