Flexipipe under floorboards
Would you advise using a flexipipe fitting between bathroom floor and kitchen ceiling?

Flexipipe is not a product used in the plumbing industry, what can be used is plastic pipe which is manufactured by a number of different companies which include Hep 2 O, John Guest or Poly Plumb. Personally I would recommend Hep 2 O as it is a high quality product which cannot be easily taken apart.

They could be over stretched or too loose. If your pipes were to fail, you could be facing ruined carpets, warped wooden floors

Flexible pipes are a quicker and easier option to copper pipes they give a 20 year guarantee on speed fit pipes as long as you have fitted the pipe fittings correctly

A solid pipe would be more advisable ASDA flexi pipe will be unreliable if there is hot water travelling through it during the moderation deterioration will not be suitable which will later on cause leaks solid pipe all the way through would be advisable hope this helps

Yes I would suggest this and a benefit of this is that it saves times to hook up hot and cold water appliances.

Flexi hose can have a limited life and is often quite small bore, whereas 15mm is much better and will provide a noticably greater flow. Just a single 90 degree joint may be needed and if you select a top tier brand such as Hep2O or Speedfit they are reliable and have good warranty periods.

Yes. Dont forget to use pipe inserts. Flexible pipe allows for awkward fitting and barrier pipe has two layers of protection against cold and punctures and can be used on heating as well as service pipes.
