Can I use plasterboard adhesive over copper pipes to cover them with
plasterboard (dot n dab) after boiler relocation?

Unlikely, the plaster will crack due to movement of the pipes -
expansion and contraction as they heat and cool.

hi

Thanks for advice but Im not sure which plaster will crack?
But if that the case what would be the best way to cover them pipes.

There is a block wall with dot and dabbed plasterboard. Plumber chased the plasterboard in to hide pipe in cavity between block and plasterboard.

Now I need to cover it and not sure what product to use



How much room is there between the front of the pipes and the back edge
of the plasterboard? And how thick is the plasterboard. Can you post a
picture and provide a link to the photo?

is 10mm between pipe and plasterboard and plasterboard is 12mm.

ok that makes it easier... You may be able to do a patch supported by
battens:

Or failing that, just pack some insulation material over the pipes and
then fill with bonding plaster to just below the finished surface. Let
that go off a bit, then fill flush with a light weight filler, or board
fill compound.
