I dont think I do but...
The heating pipes had been layed direct into the concrete with no protection.... the new boiler found the weak points... thank god it was before we had fitted the new Bathroom / kitchen etc.
Have chopped channels into the floor screed down to the slab below for new pipe runs. Around the edge of the property I have found some plastic sheeting under the screed. Assume this to be where it has been folded over the slab edge. Under the 4 inch breeze block walls built on top of the screed there is a damp proof membane which has been damaged whilst chanelling under the wall.
Would welcome advice on what i should do. A mate (some building experience) suggests adding liquid membrane into the channels before laying the new heating pipework? i dont think its necessary?
Under the walls - should a take out some mortar and slide another piece of membrane in? Is it required as the slab has a membrane under it already? If yes - best way to do this?
Thanks for looking
