have 2 price to render around this?

How do you work around this?


what do you normally do?
 
put plastic boxing over the copper pipes, then render up to them. that should also help keep the frost of the pipes in the winter.
 
Give them bullshit how youll lag the pipes, box em make it look real nice ,,then bump up theprice.Most diy stores sell cplastic boxing designed for pipes.
 
I'd tell them they have to get the pipes removed, hopeing they'd tell me too f*ck off

which is exactly what I'd do :)

Dont even attempt it mate.

2 of them are overflow pipes so there not a problem just remove and fix back later now the two black ones look like conduit so you will need to find out what they are then undo then put back on when finished.
 
stab in the dark (ish) i'd say they were a 22mm gas pipe (boiler) and a 15mm pressure relief pipe (blows off hot water when the boiler gets to 3 bar...

cement eats copper...

you need a gas safe engineer to move the copper, one waste is push fit so pull it off at the elbow, the other is solvent weld so cut it off 20mm away from the elbow

I'd have the gas run under the dpc level (below the bellcast) then a quick up and over entering the property or if not have it on a 15mm standoff, mask it up and render round it... same for the blowoff pipe...

refit the solvent weld with a coupler and some glue...

if the copper were water pipes they'd freeze..

not 100% but I thought external gas pipes had to have a yellow 'gas' tape intentifying them... ???
 
cant be gas they have to be marked up with yellow banding and they wouldnt allow that much exposure of gas pipes externally on a house

people will do anything
 
when rendering onto this brick do you have to apply sbr or can you render directly on it after a wet down?
