Boxing pipes

[Bobbibee]

Hi

I am having my kitchen redone and just had it plastered. These pipes were not boxed in completely at the wall but they now have been. My questions is, do I put skirting board down first, then box them in once the radiator is installed? And how do I get this pipe to go under the metal edging around the corner?

Thanks

cut the edging off with a hacksaw. Get rads installed neatly with pipes let in to wall as far as possible, and then fit skirting. If you do it t'other way around you can bet the valves are not quite in the right place. If you can't get skirt flush, just add a little stand-off along top edge - it won't show under the rad.

you use a 15mm pipe slice to cut copper

that's 10mm or even 8mm microbore....

Good spot, I'd be getting a plumber in then.

For what?

For what?

Moving the central heating pipes to the new radiator position.

Believe the kitchen company are installing the radiator
Thank you for the advice, I'll do the other skirts and leave that one.
