A few years ago we had the central heating updated. And a larger radiator fitted in a large rear extension. This room has always taken longer to heat up. And I believe I now know why.. The radiator has been installed using copper micro-bore, and the distances involved is 5m from the 15mm tee close to which 2 other radiators are fed from, these are in 15mm.
Last year it was the coldest room in the house.

I am sure that if I change the pipe to 15mm Plastic this would heat up quicker and stay hotter. It seems obvious to me that this would work. But there are always doubters where I work!!!

I would do the work myself..

Please advise.
