And how do you check joints lol

To check joints is a bit of a hassle but if needed all are accessible..

so the copper gas pipe is clipped to the correct distances with pipe clips and then the downpipe sits ontop of it? with the weight of the downpipe on its own clips?

Yes I clipped the 28mm pipe every 2.5m using Munson Rings.. & all the downpipes is adequately clipped aswell.

In the downpipes

must be a pain to cut the downpipe, do you use a grinder?

ive done simular work in the past but we just fitted downpipes infront of gas pipes.

I have no reason to log into my account to post lies.. I did 6 flats worth last Fridays & given the 80/90mph wind we've had recently I can confirm they're still there intact as I put them.

I understand what you're saying, it's a very stupid way to-do it & I suppose unless you've done it then it just sound ridiculous.

its very common practice on new build flats. If they designed the building better or spent alittle bit of money on a purposed built duct/boxing then the issue of trying to hide them would not arise. Sadly like most house builders saving a few pounds is the problem of the plumber on site.

ive done some very expensive flats that have had a aecv in the middle of the lounge wall with a mdf cubby stuck around it. Design the flat with the kitchen on the front, its not rocket science.

I worked on some gas carcass was amazing three four and five floors above meter, service riser remote ect......22mm all 35m of it. Leasehold allowed no upgrades. External. 35 mm would have been a lot easier
