Been looking at PVCu 'skirting' to hide pipes & found this site;
http://encasementstore.co.uk/index.php?cPath=49

Looks like good stuff, but expensive. The smallest size 110mm is around £1
a metre, internal corner over £5, external corner over £7. Plus its only
available in 1250mm lengths, which would involve joiners at nearly £2 each.

Anyone know of a cheaper source?

Have a look at http://snipurl.com/axslg (www.Pendock.co.uk)
there's a few different sizes / styles / finishes.

Why not use regular skirting fixed to two battens. One batten fastened
to the wall flush with the top of the skirting and the other at some
distance below to create a void for the piping. You could even put a
chamfer or moulded edge on the top batten.

Hmmm, seems to me that the convenience of the ducted sytem is worth the
extra, particularly when you bundle in the time.

It might be a little quicker to fix, but timber would look far nicer
in my opinion. I've never used the proprietary systems but I wonder
how much faster they would be to fix compared to long lengths of
timber skirting and battens.
