Hi All,
I'm new to this so hoping someone can point me in the right direction!
I have a radiator that i wanted moved, but it went drastically wrong :mad: I have flexi pipe which was unseen behind the radiator, and was replaced with plastic pipe at the top of the skirting, floor boards apparently could not be taken up, don't think they were laid correctly, anyway, apart from the fact that this pipework leaks, i just think it is unsightly, obviously wish i never moved radiator in the first place, but now just have to mend the problem.
So what i am looking for is some advice to yet again move this radiator, and if the pipework can be the same as before, and if the pipes can be under the floor boards, or will this just weaken them.
Hope this all makes sence, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, R. :cool:
 
Pictures would be helpful here, I think. Any chance of a photo of the current situation?

Exactly what sort of pipes are you working with at the moment? Size and material would be a good start...

Pipes are quite OK under floorboards (depending on the size of notch or hole you have to create) and there are a few neat ways of gaining access under floors even if you can't easily lift the floorboards.
