Who ever fixes it dont dig a hole in your floor to get to it cos you will break your damp proof membrane if you got one,find the water pipe out side in the ground cut it off then run plastic back into house a different way then tap into any part of your cold water circuit ,must put stop cock where you tap into water circuit hope this helps .

if copper pipe is run in screed it should be wrapped in denzel tape....or the pipe will corrode,the screed will be 75mm thick and easy to chop up.......but im guessing you got a tiled floor.. :ayatollah:
