I need to add a radiator to a room with 10mm microbore from a manifold in loft above. The walls are plastered breeze block. The plumbing is no problem, but I have never chased a wall before. Can anyone tell me;
1) Whats the best tool to cut the 2 parallel lines in the wall for the sides of the channel - a chisel or can I use an angle grinder with a masonary disc?
2) Can I chase out between the 2 lines with a cold chisel or is breeze block too hard for this?
3) How do I secure the pipes in the channel - plastic 'Talon' clips seem too bulky?
4) Do i cover the pipes with the type of plastic/metal strips that cables are normally covered with?
5) What materials do I need to fill in afterwards?
Hopefully I can do this without buying expensive special tools.
Many thanks
