Hey guys!
Recently we have had a bunch of ceilings re-plastered in our house by the son of a good friend of my dads, he has worked for his Dad for multiple years renovating houses so it was mentioned to us that he could replace multiple radiators that we wanted doing. Since returning from university i have seen the work he has done and some of it has confused me and has left me wondering if he has done a rubbish job or if he has done the correct job and it just looks rubbish to me.
1) Can the piping of wall mounted radiators go through solid walls instead of the floor? The house is an old farm house and is all solid walls but my mother wanted the downstairs kitchen radiator (one of those tall thin ones) to be freestanding and now have the pipes going through the floor but he said it wasn't possible. The wall itself it an interior solid wall.
2) He has angled some piping down and away from the radiators instead of going straight down, this looks absolutely awful but is this fairly normal?
3) Two of the radiators replaced in the bedrooms are half the width of the previous radiators and they look completely out of place and stupid but is this fairly normal? we were told it made more sense to have them as the bigger ones aren't 'necessary' but these smaller ones look stupid.
4) Can towel radiators go through upstairs solid walls? We had one of the upstairs bathrooms renovated by a proper bathroom company and they managed to mount a towel radiator to the wall and have it freestanding and that is also through a solid wall, so why cant another one be done in another bathroom?
There are still a few radiators to be fitted and the ones already fitted can hopefully be refitted in the correct manor. My mother has stressed that she would want a proper plumber to fit the remaining radiators and fix the work already completed so if you work in the Essex area around Colchester then message me your number and when we are ready to get it sorted i will contact you!
Thanks guys!
