Hi, Im after some advice please! Were having an extension at the rear of a mid-terraced house, I want to run a water pipe from the old outside tap to the back of the extention to create a new one. The floor it will run across is block and beam, the builder has said that he wants the pipe under the insulation on the block and beam floor rather than in the screed so it will run under the DPC and will need to come back up through it. I can do the pipe work etc my question is around penetrating the DPC as I want to chase the pipe into the wall on the inside so the plasterboard can be laid flat to the wall. Should I run the pipe on the outside of the DPC and then into the wall or chase into the wall below the DPC and then reseal the DPC with either silicone or a cut off of DPC?? How will this affect building regulations if I break the DPC? Iv attached a pic so hopefully what im saying makes sense! If you have questions please ask! TIA :)

My ground workers are moling my water pipe today in my access road. All going well. There is one duct for an electricity cable (see photo). They are proposing to go OVER the duct with the water pipe. The water pipe will be only 300mm deep at the point. Is that ok? Would it be at risk of freezing? Should I kick up a fuss and ask them to go UNDER the exposed duct SO its depth is 800mm as it is for the rest of the run?

I was away when we had our water connected up in the main road. I had requested and paid for a 32mm supply as we are about 80 metres from the main supply. I have now received photos of the actual connection and it shows the end of my 32mm pipe going into a reducer, a short length (100mm) of 25mm pipe and then the coupling into the main. My question is this normal as I expected it to be 32mm all the way to the main? I cannot see it making to much difference but just thought I would ask?

Laying my water main - 32mm 100m coil. Got within 10m of the end of the trench and yep it kinks good and proper, looks knackered to me. Solutions greatly appreciated as I'm backfilling tomorrow! Is a join below ground a disaster waiting to happen? Many thanks in advance!
