We live in an old house that has boxing around the upper floor skirting to contain the central heating and wiring circuits, because the floor/ceiling has no void.
I was checking a pipe leak recently and noticed that a lot of the wiring touches in places and in some cases is partially wrapped around a pipe. I've now added insulation around as much piping as possible (very tight space) to ensure there are minimal touches.
Maybe a silly question, do central heating pipes get hot enough to burn/affect electrical wiring. I couldn't see any melted sheathing or burning, but some discoloration.
Could be unrelated, but out downstairs lights often have a dimming spell. I've check all the terminations and can't see any broken or loose wires.
