Radiator pipes not in wall
Is it common practise for a plumber to fit a new radiator to a living room and leave all of the pipes in show down the kitchen wall and approx 2 - 3 feet worth on show in living room? We are going to have a right nightmare trying to tile around the pipes

Surfsce mounting pipework is still the standard way, chasing pipes into the wall is a bit of a black art. Having said that any engineer worth his/her salt will offer this service.
