Just wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to move the pipe on the right (following the path of the red mark) to put in a vertical rad(blue mark). Will be taking the floor up before christmas so would like to time that work to coincide. Rad mounted on a block wall.

Well if chasing the floor isn't an issue, then fitting pipes will be the least of the issues. You can get an idea of the type of underfloor by the sound - hollow would indicate a suspended wood floor, otherwise it is likely concrete. Suspended wood would be easy enough to fit pipes under.

Hi, yes it can normally be done with little issue other than that upheaval of routing it under the floor, etc. Is the floor under the wood concrete or wood?

Honetly not sure what it is. Would it make a difference other than the effort of chasing the floor?
