[QUOTE="Ukjay, post: 6971496, member: 51920"] I was curious as it could prove to be a noisy system in use, as the expansion and contraction is a factor to be aware of as it can prove to be a possible nuisance, but it is up to the OP how he leaves it. What is the pipe work for, is there a central heating boiler on the other side, thus is it a mixture of heating / hot and cold water pipework in there? If it contains heating pipework / hot water pipes, I believe you are supposed to protect electric cables from hot pipework to avoid overheating the cable and it has some negative influence on the cable duty rating, so ideally you may wish to isolate that from the hot pipes before you close it all up. Also, if you have hot pipework under /alongside cold pipes, I would lag them to prevent heating the cold water pipework, because if you are renting that out - you may get annoying calls to sort out warm water coming out of the cold taps for a while, as it looks a nice conversion and whilst it is able to be done I would say it would be worth it for prevention.
