Hi,
I'm planning on fitting a radiator in the porch, but to do this I'll need to run the pipework into the cellar somehow.
I've drawn a bit of a diagram. At the moment the porch floor is back to the concrete pad. I'm going to put some self levelling down, then some 30 or 40mm jackoboard. I'll then tile onto this, bringing it in line with the main house floor.
The problem is that I somehow need to run the radiator pipework into the cellar to connect to the central heating system.
There was previously a radiator in the porch, and the copper piping was wrapped in some fibreglass style insulation and embedded into the concrete block. The piping was pretty ancient though, and also in the wrong place for the new radiator so I'm going to need to redo it.
Not sure whether to dig a channel into the concrete pad, and then run the piping through some sort of conduit, or maybe I could just cut a channel into the bottom of the jackoboard. Anybody have any ideas? Cheers
