10mm PE-X pipes being dropped from the ceiling to a radiator below. What's the best way to bury the pipes in the breeze block wall, should a plastic conduit be used, or can they be simply recessed and plastered over?

Is it permissible to bury gas pipes in the wall? My boiler is mounter upstairs, and when installed by BG they ran a 22mm copper pipe from the meter, to and up the outside wall, before returning into the boiler upstairs. The pipe is at the front of the house and looks a mess! As I am having...

I got a Gas Safe engineer to call today and give me a quote, which is considerably cheaper than the figures posted above. He said that he would run the service feed in copper through the inner breeze wall (in a casing) and through the rear of the meter box, and would fit a second ECV and...
