Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can advise on the best way to insulate and box in some external central heating pipework. Don't ask why the pipes run outside, I don't even know myself, the plumber told my parents it had something to with not being able to drill through a lintel. Anyway it's done now and even though my dad made a stab at boxing them in, last year they froze up in the severe weather. I'm trying to have a go at doing a proper job of it this year but I'm struggling to know the best way to go about it. I've started off using proper pipe insulation on the plastic pipes but where do I go from here? I only have access to B&Q, Focus and a couple of building suppliers locally so any ideas, web links etc would be welcome. There should be a photo attached btw.
Cheers, Phil.
