Newish house with radiators that have microbore pipe but on one of them the pipe is sticking up above the radiator which looks unsightly. Is it possible to push the excess pipe back into the wall? I'm worried about causing a leak.

Best log it as a defect with the site maintenance as it’s new build

The house is 6 years old and the site is finished so builders have long gone. It wasn't a problem until recently but looks awful. Will try and carefully push some of the pipe back into the hole in the wall and see what happens

You won’t push it back into the wall unless it’s a stud wall

Why was it ok until recently?

It was OK when we moved in about a year ago but has slowly risen above the top of the radiator. Suspect it was crammed in when It was fitted and has slowly 'relaxed' and appeared above the radiator. I'll get a plumber to have a look and see what they recommend.
