hi all
just looking over the CH in my house and really need to put in a Rad into a room that had no rad the start with?
( no idea as to why? as we bought the house like this )
i think the original room had only ever 1 large rad, and it was used for the room when it had a stud wall put in? and hence the lack of a rad in the other half of the original room.
but anyhow I am looking for advice re the install for a new rad in the room, and upon stripping back the old plaster and celing i have found a blanked off "hot in" and "cold out" CH pipes above the room under the old plasterboard? they are right where i need or would like the pipes to come down from.
me question is this..
how do i run the 15mm pipes down the wall to the bottom of a new rad? looking for clean lines and no visible pipework
1- do i chase it into the brick work?
2- do i box it in
or summin else
please advise
