Lagging pipework under the house . . . . . . . . . .

[TheSalad]

Hi Folks, we have just converted our garage on the side of the house in to a utility room. Our plumber has plumbed in hot/cold taps and a new large radiator. Is it reasonable to expect the new pipework which goes some distance under the house to be lagged?

I would certainly want it to be.....can you give us some more details?

Yes. Not just reasonable but probably (depending on length and conditions) a Water Regulations requirement (G4.n and G18.7).

The pipework leading from the boiler (positioned central in the house) to the radiator and the hot water tap in the new utility space has not been lagged under the floor of the house. I was expecting to see this sort of stuff.

Yep, the lagging can be split and slid into place as it is slit down it's length.....it's better to do it during installation though! Naturally enough the lagging won't accommodate couplings or whatever as it is pushed on.
