Hi all,
Looking for some advice on the best way to fill and seal gaps around mains and boiler/heating pipework to help prevent insects or rodents from getting into the house.
The builders poured the screed but left a gap around the pipes and the plasterer didn't plaster where the mains pipe was in the way, so there are now various gaps and voids around the copper pipes where they come through both the floor and wall near the boiler/heating manifold.
Because of the pipe layout, we also can’t fit normal skirting boards in this area.
Photos attached.
What would people recommend to fill/seal the gaps and achieve a reasonably neat finish around the pipes?
Also would like to be able to hide this (while keeping easy access to the different parts) mainly to prevent risk of toddlers going in there and turning the knobs and levers.
Would appreciate recommendations on the best combination of materials and any neat finishing ideas others have used in similar situations.
Thanks!
