The guidelines from Severn trent about replacement water mains contains a diagram specifiying that if the new water pipe is layed through a solid floor, it must be layed in a continuous sleeved insulated duct more than 750mm below the surface (fair enough), but also it must have a point of entry into the building *less* than 750mm from the outside wall it passes through. Well, my old lead pipe runs under the solid hall and kitchen floors before appearing in the kitchen. How would I comply ? I cannot run pipes above ground along the hall ! Any idea how this should in interpreted ? Cheers, Simon.
