Hi all.

I am in desperate need of a second opinion.

I have two pipes (hot and cold water) that once ran down from the bathroom above and round a corner to our sink. Previously they were in a box in but the wall they were boxed into has been removed and now we are left unsure what to do now.

The wall in question is an external corner wall. Solid double brick (no cavity) wall.

We are unsure what to do as we need corner connectors when the pipes reach the floor as well as a t junction to connect a supply pipe to our washing machine.

We obviously want the nicest look but I am very nervous of burying pipes with connections in a wall.

At the top there is an area where we could install an access point with shut of valves if needed.

We are trying to choose between

1 - chasing it all into the wall and covering with plasterboard.

2 - boxing it all in again to allow easier access to the pipes in the event of a leak

I wish I could also post a picture.

Any help greatly appreciated as we need to start work tomorrow.
 
Either is ok upto you tbh

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
