Other than rest of comments i would advise this:
- try use more bends (looks better, faster and less chance of leaks
- use a god damn spirit level! Your heating return is rising to the boiler slightly (it looks like it is in the picture!)
I would be lose with my torpedo spirit level, heat proof mat (always doubled over for added protection), dont use a wet rag after soldering (u want a dry to buff your fittings, creates a better silver look)

Oh new mag has a drain off .

Kyle87
I way prefer having the drain off as it's so quick to add inhibitor etc. just isolate and drain it. Take lid off and pour in. Job done

always connect the pipe work after its all set on the wall then tighten them last.

lame plumber
good on you to post a piture and ask. My only comment is that a bit of planning and u could have had all that pipework running equidistant apart and parallel with no cross overs which would look the bees knees. get your clips up first and work back fm there. if u think it looks wrong then it is and 2 mins and u can get it looking ok ie the descaler, keep throwing them on the wall and it gets easier most of the time 🙂

More clips dude. If you had enough clips on the pipework, the verticals would have stayed straight, and the lime beater wouldn't have warped the olives and gone wonky.
A lot of cheap comp fittings are too slack on the female, so when you tighten up, the olive won't stay straight. Plumb we're selling some isolators a while back and regardless of how hard you tried, they would not stay straight. I complained and they don't sell that brand anymore, at least not in my branch.

I'm trying to be a bit neater on my installs and am willing to see what you all say this time.
Here's something's I think you'll say so ill address them first
Why is?.......
Hot and cold so far apart
Who is hot below the cold
Why is hot leading into a 22mm pipe
Why is line beater crooked
Why is there a diff coloured compression on limbeater
So the answers are
A. To prevent cold being warmed by hot
B. So I didn't have to cross over
C. Customer didn't want to pay for us to put it all in 15mm to bathroom
D. Didn't realise it was to be honest. Seemed fine earlier.
E. Because the 22mm version is £15 in Travis clearance. Throw the 22-15 coupler in the box and use what you have.
Fair play for posting it up.

Best practice requires dhw pipe be insulated
K
Kyle87
Where do you draw the line though. The meter of pipework on show is a fraction of the dhw pipework in the house. If not insulating it all then is there any point.
I'm not retaliating to your comment. I'm asking genuinely
Yes understand that, but suppose you do as much as possible, especially your new pipes
K

I've got nothing to hide or be afraid of for posting up here. I've been self employed for a year now and am getting way better than when I started.
In that year I've done 12 bathrooms, fitted 8 boilers and mostly everything else has been the usual, changing rads etc.
So apart from the boilers and maybe one or two jobs I havnt had much experience in installing lots of pipework that will be on show. So I look here for guidance.
All my bathrooms have had hidden pipework apart from the chrome to towel rails.
Apart from the odd keyboard warrior everyone else here will give genuine advise and good criticism as we all have to start somewhere. Unfortunately for me I started arse about tit into my plumbing career but here I am.
So I'd actually encourage anyone else in my shoes wanting to better themselves to throw up pics

You'll learn. I've seen a lot worse from guys who have done this for 25 years.
Its the same with the main and some of the preformed tails are so far off true its unreal.
the baxi i had other week was like that the return was about half inch off does your head in
I slacken the retaining the nuts right off.
If the walls out, it can be a bit of a pain.
