Hi,
On Saturday I was fixing some squeaky floorboards in my spare room when disaster struck, I drilled down through a floorboard into a copper pipe no matter how many times I check I still managed to do it.
Anyway, I left the screw in , drained the system and patched the pipe up with a full roll of waterproof tape covering a good 2-3 inches either side of the hole. I have left the floorboard off and have been checking it regularly ever since and there hasn't been a drop. Can this be classed as a permanent fix? It's a 25mm pipe I think, one of the bigger pipes where flows/returns direct to the combi boiler.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
