I'm installing pipework in my home for a combi boiler. I had a plumber out who's willing to let me do the pipe work and then he will inspect it and connect the boiler but he says theres a problem with the layout of my pipes.
Basically, I'm trying to avoid cutting into my concrete floors downstairs so I'm going to use the plastic piping and run it behind kitchen cupboard and skirting board etc but at one point I need to cross a corridor so I was planning on running the pipe up the door frame, across the top of the door and down the other side - luckily the door has voids that enable me to do this. would this cause an airlock or any other problem? Is it not just the same as running the pipe upstairs to other radiators and then back down?
he also had a very low opinion of the plastic piping - apparently it corrodes the system after a few years.... Is plastic piping OK or should I stick with copper?
thanks.
