Radiator replacement

[Andy T]

Hi,

Looking to replace afew rad in my house downstairs.The rooms are carpeted throught.Would it be ok to run the new pipework from below the ceiling joining to excisting pipes rather than riping up the floor boards etc.

Ive got a combi boiler........

Thanks

Andy.

yes you can run the pipe along the wall at ceiling hight,
but if you are replacing existing radiators is the pipe work not already there?
are you planning to remove the ceiling to make connection to the existing pipes??

Forgot to mention it will be for part of my nvq assessment and need to replace excisting old pipe work then run new in.Will be connecting to excisting pipework just below ceiling level........

If you lift floor boards and notch for new pipes you'll get more boxes ticked off for your NVQ
