I would really appreciate any advice on making me feel less disappointed with my intended costs-saving decision!
I've had a new combi fitted in the loft and it was suggested that the gas pipe should run outside the meter, directly up the external wall, turn at right angles and then re-enter in the loft. I don't have much imagination and didn't anticipate how poor the end result would look . It's on our gable end and now we have the black UPVC water pipes at the front of the gable (if you follow me) and the gas pipe at the rear. Copper pipe and black plastic rainwater/soil stacks don't seem to go with one another....
The wall is 1930's red brick so I wondered whether it would look better if I painted the copper pipe, or could I 'house' it in something to match the black UPVCc pipes on the same wall? Wish I had more imagination...
Any ideas gratefully received..
