Not every plumbing and heating job involves installing a shiny new boiler or fitting a new bathroom.
Sometimes, the most important work happens completely out of sight.
Max has been hard at work crawling underneath the floorboards at this property, carrying out a range of heating pipework repairs and improvements before everything is covered back up.
Replacing and Repairing Existing Heating Pipework
With access underneath the floors, we’ve been able to inspect the existing plumbing and heating services and carry out a number of improvements, including:
- Replacing old heating pipework
- Repairing existing leaks
- Replacing radiators
- Altering pipework where required
- Insulating accessible heating and water pipes
Although most of this work will never be seen once the floors go back down, it’s an important part of maintaining and improving an existing heating system.
Why Insulate Heating Pipes Under Floorboards?
Heating pipes running through unheated or poorly insulated voids can lose useful heat before the water ever reaches the radiator.
Where practical and accessible, properly insulating heating pipework can help reduce unnecessary heat loss and improve the overall efficiency of the system.
It’s particularly worthwhile when floors are already lifted or access is available for other plumbing work.
