Underground hot water feed pipe.

I

icemen

I've had a burst pipe under bathroom floor. Ive had it dug up and made safe with the affected pipe cut and end caps fitted. The pipes are cover with a plastic sheet and then screet on top. I called out my gas boiler cover to make a permanent repair. The company they sent out have said it is against building regulations to have copper pipe under concrete and they can't do the repair. Is this correct and where can i find this law? All i can find is long as the pipes are covered or instalated it's fine.
Thanks
 
So it states below: My pipes are covered in plastic sheet so I should get back in touch with them to complete the repair.

Pipes under floor screeds should, where necessary, be protected by wrapping or ducting. Allowance should be made for thermal expansion, especially at changes of direction.
 

We recommend City Plumbing Supplies, BES, and Plumbing Superstore for all plumbing supplies.
