We're redecorating the front room, and it's now pretty much gutted. It's
time to think about what to do with the radiator pipes; try to hide
them, or just buy new trunking and tack them to the skirting boards
again. I know the professionals manage to hide them in the wall
somehow, but I can't see how just plastering over them is going to work
when they expand. The horizontal bits, I can hide behind the new
skirtng board; but what about the bits that come down the wall in the
corner? Can they be covered over with expanding foam and then smoothed
over with filler, or (more likely) is there some really clever way that
I haven't thought of yet?

Use bendy plastic 10mm pipe routed behind the skirting board, and join
to the rad using a push fit elbow. Done it on 4 rads now, and seems to
work very well.
