plaster first or install central heating first?

[1andrea]

Hi

Can anyone help me? What do I do first? Do I get my cental heating installed and then replaster/ skim walls or get the plastering done before the central heating is installed?

Thanks

allways plaster first. if your thinking of fitting new skirting boards its sometimes handy to fit them behind the rad pipes saving you the bother after the rad's been fitted and filled.

i jumped the gun a bit there ! only re plaster first if its just secondary fix you're doing. if it involves first fix, i.e. ceiling space,wall chases etc, then of course get the pipe carcassing installed ,plaster up then second fix.
