Hi all,
We're having a new central heating system installed including all new radiators and pipework - removing old microbore pipes and replacing with plastic stuff.
Downstairs has a solid floor and the bolier is going upstairs, most of the pipe work will run under the upstair floorboards and drop down for the downstairs radiators. In the living room and kitchen i want to bury the pipes in the walls, then when we have the rooms skimmed they will be covered.
So really i'm after any tips form people who have done this before. I was thinking of just using a chisel and making a 2" channel, then after the pipes have been installed (should i clip them in ?) covering with a thin peice of wood / plastic (maybe use the 'lid' from some square conduit) ready to plaster over. Is this a sensible thing to do ?
Many thanks for any advice
Alistair
