Discuss gas service pipe under slab in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

I have decided to remove the timber floor boards and joists as they are effected by damp and rotting. Was hoping to infill and have slab and screed floor. There is a gas servile pipe under the floor which enters the property below the joists at the front of the house and comes up under the stairs where the meter is located.
My question is, am I allowed to bury this? Pipe would be in the hardcore layer with slab, dpm, insulation and screed above. Pipe is mainly steel with a small section of copper at the end.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
To be honest, burying gas service pipes, especially steel and copper, is not totally recommended without consulting local building codes and a professional first. It may require specific protection or rerouting to ensure safety and compliance.
