Scorch mark on skirting board from pipe

[gmartine]

Do you use a kettle to boil hot water, any scorching?

No

The point we are making Arthur is that hot water (which will be at less than boiling temp) coming from your boiler won't scorch paint.

I can only presume from the skirting board. The boiler itself looks fine and was only installed in 2017 and it has been serviced last year and this year. I have put some Kooltherm between the pipe and wall so the pipe is a little bit further away from the skirting board now. I've also turned the temperature gauge down from 70 degrees to 30. It's goes from 20 degrees to 80 according to the manual so I think having it that high for two years hasn't helped. The Kooltherm and turning it down should do the trick. I will still keep an eye on it though.

If hot water pipes could cause wood to combust then every home would be burnt down

Arthur: I think everyone is being ultra polite. Either you are losing it or you are on a successful wind up.

Is the pipe carrying flames or water or gas?

Flames? That’s a new one...

I think we can now assume Arthur is safe and his house has not set on fire.
