Hi Guys any advice here would be good and most welcome.
To cut a long story short, the plumber laid pipes in new built downstairs toilet (two for sink one for toilet), then floor screeded and now when he has gone to plumb in the toilet/sink he has found the two pipes for the sink are both cold and the one pipe for the toiet is the hot pipe other than running copper pipe from the hot pipe to the sink and vice versa for the toilet is there anything else that can be done to rectify this. PS yes it was a plumber and not me.

just a thought - cant you go back to where the pipes start and solve the problem there ie where he has teed in the new pipework?

Dig the floor up and charge the plumber.

Otherwise unless you can swap them at source it to run them surface and maybe box them in.

I hope the pipes are insulated where they are in the screed. Concrete and copper do not go together, corrosion is the result.

nice one razor that made me laugh moon cat all pipes are insulated

might be an idea to buy your plumber some red sticky tape for when he re-pipes it so he knows which one is the hot pipe

Good idea for everyone. A chap I know had a plumber who connected the WC flush supply to the hot system. I said, "Hmm, luxury!"

In the past I have put in pipework (plastic - I can't do copper) for a plumber friend to do the business ends and I always used to put some red sticky tape every metre-ish so I don't loose track of which pipe is which
