Hi,

I have a timber frame extension with no radiators on the walls currently so I'm looking to add one, all walls are external with a vapour barrier

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience fishing 10mm pipe down a wall from the loft above

I was thinking to cut a 100mm slot out the plaster board from floor to ceiling to help get the pipes down
 
Depends do you have nogs half way down the wall ?
 
It is fine if it is the right size (internal diameter is less than copper) and it is installed correctly. Plastic pipe has a much greater expansion rate than copper and if it isn't clipped/installed correctly, there's a chance you will hear it expanding and contracting inside the wall. It can be annoying to some people.
