What a plank! How are you going to do it? Deep trench?..... that if the rain is not a feature of the day tomorrow I shall be plumbering a "bodge" into another "bodge" but not such an "obvious bodge".
It has to be "not raining" because both the existing "bodge" and the new "bodge" involves running HOT & COLD pipework external to a building because some previous plank/owner of the property put the boiler in the external garage and ran the rising main supply to the boiler and the DHW out from the boiler under the badly made false floor of a conservatory that has now been knocked down.
It is a horror-story, and I hate to perpetuate a "bodge" but the alternative is a £2k new boiler re-sited back in the main house and my son cannot afford that.
When will all this nonsense end I wonder?
I had a boss (a complete sh!t so this couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke).
He noticed water on the floor of his kitchen. Turned out whoever plumbed the house laid the pipes under the floor then just put concrete over it, no gravel, no protection, nothing. He had to replumb the whole house, a bungalow, via the roof! Pipes down all walls, it looked sh!t! Tee Hee!

I recommended that the boiler be re-sited and the problem would resolve itself therefore.
Instead, we are going to re-route the 2 errant (and highly visible) pipes through a wall (still running outside) and box them in (insulated) and back into the main house in a less conspicuous fashion.
Seeing as my Son & wife have told all prospective purchasers that "those pipes will be re-routed" a promise will have been kept. But it's re-bodging a bodge, nonetheless and I hate it.
