Hi,
I'm putting in a length of soil pipe but unfortunately it runs where some rad feed pipes (15mm) are which means the soil pipe is tight (pushing even) on the rad pipes.

Is this going to be a problem? Should I try and slide some card or something between the plastic and the pipe?

Rerunning the rad pipes is going to be very difficult as space and access are limited.

The heating system water is unlikely to approach a point where it would be able to cause serious damage to the plastic soil pipe, but it's fair to assume that it could lead to it becoming brittle over time. Better safe than sorry, try and wedge some form of insulating material in there if there really is no way to move the pipework.
