Feeding radiator from above

Millsy wasn't on about the scaffolding I think but the radiator

That pipework/rad looks as rough as a badgers ...:toilet:

Couldn't plastic at least have been dropped from the corner (and boxed) and threaded through the cupboard?

just in the place to ensure you burn your arm taking off the boiler cover......

Really Guys. Don't you have proper jobs to do.

If i didn't know better i'd think you were jealous !!!

ooooooh rough as a badgers- you'll burn yourself ooooooh

Even Millsy saw the joke in my previous post.

For the record the column radiator was the most practical option for that space.It is also cheaper to run than a plinth heater with fan.The radiator is about a foot of the ground for a reason. The stop valve is at the end off the units, if i put the radiator any further down i would not have access in an emergency. All factors taken into consideration.
Originally the plan was to bury the pipework in the wall but as the kitchen had been done the year before i decided it would have been too messy to cut out the channels in a poured concrete wall. i don't like boxed in pipe as it looks worse then the pipes you see in the pic.
The truth is that it works and 4 years on we don't even notice the pipes any more.
One day i may even go back and bury the pipes but until then as the Stigster said

"I think the most important thing here is that OP has done the work himself, got a warm kitchen now and is happy to live with the aesthetics. I wouldn't pay someone to do that but seeing as the people in the home are OK with it that's all that matters really.

Personally, I'm pleased for Bravehearts and his warm kitchen." And soon to be warmer home, i can here them drilling as i type.:cowboy:
