So given the task of sticking a 22mm run of pipe across a series of

it without using lots of short sections of pipe?

ISTR Adam recommending drilling the holes in line, then removing part of
the outside wall for access so a length of copper tube could be slid in.
Said it was common practice with heating professionals.

Very good 10/10. Some have been known to have removed the odd brick to do
this. Or drill through as the exterior was to be rendered anyhow.


How much, said the bloke living on the 5th floor, well said IMM, it's 200
quid for the plumbing work and parts but an extra 700 quid for the
scaffolding - but it's only one extra radiator 'ther end of the room, said
the gob smacked bloke as he tore the estimate up !
