  • What is the accepted method of finishing a wall over heating pipes?

    As you can see in this image the skirting would not covet the red boxed section. So how should this be filled in or covered over?

    Cheers.

    Edit: just seen this "short" (yuck) on YT and it makes expanding foam seem like a great idea for a host of reasons - insulation, ease, getting a flush finish.

  • Thanks for the laugh, I needed that! Looks like whoever plumbed that in has left you with a problem.

    Are those pipes flush with the wall? If so I really don't have any good ideas for you.

    I think the plumber who is showing expanding foam in a shower knows that the tiles will cover that reasonably well. It would not be good with mosaics for example. I would definitely not work with a plumber who did that but I'm old and grumpy.

  • not around pipes - but we had a gap between skirting and newly plastered walls (plasterers assumed we’d have taller skirting than we ended up going with…) - anyway, expanding foam and then toupret filler has done a more than adequate job even with skills as questionable as my own.

  • Personally id get larger skirting for this room.

  • Cut out some more and put a plasterboard overhang. Then skirting to taste.
