Pipes through coving...any ideas how to tidy up?

[matt84]

Hi

I've left these corners last in the hope that they'll go away. Any ideas for making good? Previous owners used caulk. It went soft.

Thanks

Some coving adhesive, and possibly a bit of an off cut of coving stuck in the larger hole...

I'd be tempted to adapt the pipe work to sit further in to the corner, then cover the main wall vertical pipes with some pipe box covers.

I hate visible vertical pipes that run through floors.

What function is the pipe work, rad feeds, main flow return, hw cw?

If you were to adapt the pipe work it might be worth going the whole hog and chasing out the wall and burying it all.

Theres two sets for two rads. Lucikly they'll both be hidden mainly by curtains but I prefer hidden pipes too. Easier just to tidy it up for now.
