I'm renovating a house for the first time and have had a new central heating system installed.
I got a competitive quote and had the system installed in copper in one day.
I have noticed since that a lot of places have the radiator pipes to the valves chased and hidden into the wall, where as mine come from the floorboards.
My question is, is it a short cut not to have done this, given that the whole house is about to be skimmed anyway. The pipes look really tacky to me, especially as I have really tall victorian skirting. The plumber didn't ask anything about how I wanted them to look. Surely he should have gone through the options with me.
I'm wondering if his cheaper quote was because of this or whether the more expensive quotes would have done it the same way, only chasing if I specifically asked.
What are your thoughts?
