Radiator works but weirdly the pipe that is warping is the return pipe.

Thanks for letting me know, those were already there so I carried the job on from that point but I'll look into replacements now you've mentioned it. RE the warping - after fitting extra clips that pipe still warps even though the other doesn't, I also noticed that the warping pipe vibrates a...

Brilliant, thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping it was just a case of more clips but found it weird it was only happening on one side. Luckily I've got a bag of those clips, thanks again for the help!

Hi, I recently fitted a radiator in my kitchen using speedfit piping. Everything seems to work ok but when the heating is on one of the pipes begins to warp. At first I thought it was because the pipe needed cutting down so I shortened it a little but still have the same problem. The pipe...

Thanks for the explanation and links, that's really helpful! I'll and those to my shopping list. Excited to get started on this project in a couple of weeks and at least these new issues you've all highlighted don't look too big a worry or cost to incorporate .

Oh ok, so tieing my wall to there's with a starter kit is more for allowing movement as mine settles/dries rather than toothing in which I assume could cause trouble in future?

Ok thanks. I was thinking if i built mine into their wall it would act as an anchor point, I'm guessing that's not the case then?

So if the mortar in the remaining wall isn't cracked that should be fine? Thanks, was looking at English garden wall style as it looks similar to the walls either side, I'm guessing ties aren't required if you're using bricks as ties? I've attached a photo as these things are easier to...

Thanks for the advice, looks I'll be watching some YouTube videos on foundations!

Ok thanks, terms of thickness I was just going to match the existing wall and next doors as it's one long wall running across the back yards (terraced houses) Sorry if I sound like an idiot but in terms of foundation - currently the wall is missing as it was removed and a concrete ramp built...

Hi, I'm looking at building a wall at the bottom of my back yard. There is already a course or two of bricks where a previous wall has been so I'm guessing it would be fine to build on top of that and build it up? The wall will be roughly 3m long and 2m high. On one side I will look to merge...
