Leaking steel gas pipe under floor
Victorian end-terrace with a suspended wooden floor, no crawl space. We have a gas leak that the engineer believes to be in the old steel pipe that runs under the floor from the gas meter in our cupboard to the kitchen. We're getting the kitchen redone at the moment, so the gas needs to be reconnected to our new gas hob. The engineer's best suggestion to minimise cost, disruption and the dining room décor is to send a new 22mm copper pipe up through the ceiling above the gas meter, run this along the skirting in the landing and then back down through the kitchen ceiling, where it can be connected up. I'd be really grateful for any views on this approach. Does it make sense and/or sound like the best way forward? What options might there be for re-running it under the floor? Would this all need taking up? And then can copper pipe be laid directly below or does it need ducting and/or screed? I want to know what's preferrable versus what's possible (practically and legally!)

How can I tell if my boiler condensate pipe is frozen
Hey! I believe that my boiler condensate pipe is frozen. Firstly, how can I ensure that my diagnosis is correct? And what steps can I take to thaw it out? Should this be done by a professional? What about checking to confirm that it’s frozen, can I do this DIY or better to hire a heating engineer?
Where can underfloor heating be fitted?
Is it okay to have underfloor heating fitted in both new and old parts of a home? Or should there be consistency or/and should they only be installed in the newer sections of my property?

heating costs per hour
How much does it cost to run the central heating for a given hour in the UK? Does it depend on where I live or the supplier that I have? If so, how can I find out the cost per hour for me?
Ideal boiler temperature
Does the ideal boiler temperature vary significantly from model to model or even based on the type/design of the boiler in question? I assume the manual of any given boiler will provide this information anyway for any given boiler model?
When to replace gas boiler
Should we replace our gas boiler before the law changes in 2025? Our boiler still works but it's almost ten years old and I'm worried about what we'll do if it breaks after that time.
