Hi All,
Looking for some advice/reassurance. Coming to the end of a loft conversion which includes an en suite. The builders we have used told us that running the hot and cold water pipes internally would cause damage to our existing bathroom/tiles. So their solution was to run the pipes externally. This happened very quickly and we are now concerned that the proposed solution was just to avoid doing repair work in the main bathroom and we might have a problem on our hands? Have attached a photo, the pipes have since been insulated.
Besides it not looking great, we are concerned about energy efficiency and potential for frozen pipes. If anybody can offer any reassurance or advice it would be much appreciated. We are not sure if we should be insisting that the pipes get boxed in etc for example or if the insulation will be enough.
Thanks very much in advance.
