Gas pipe in new extension

[oldfield_ian]

I am building an extension to my house which will include a new kitchen and utility. Is it usual / preferable / regs to have a new gas feed pipe installed below the floor, or should it be installed later? This is for the cooker and boiler.

I am aware the work must be done by a Corgi engineer, but some advice at this stage would be helpful (ie. before I lay the concrete floors). Also, would the engineer nowadays install plastic or metal pipe?

Thank you.

Ian.

Underground is not an option, exterior 22mm gas pipes are resin shielded for running along an outside wall. Inside the only option is across the roof space or between floors with plain copper pipework.

underground IS an option as long as you stick to the corgi guidelines.
