Concern About Wiring Near Central Heating Pipes

JDW

Hi everyone,

I'm a little concerned about the wiring under the floorboards in my house. From previous visits under there, I'm convinced that some of the wiring comes close to or even touches the central heating pipes. The consumer unit (CU) was replaced a few years ago, so everything is protected by an RCD, and the bathroom radiator has a 4mm earth bonding that goes back to the CU.

Should I be concerned about this setup, or is it safe to leave it as is?

Thanks in advance for your advice

    I believe my combi heating system runs at around 68°C.

    A few years ago, I installed some Screwfix pipe insulation on the bathroom pipes when I had the floor up.

    However, insulating the other pipes would be quite tricky without causing significant disruption (and risking my wife's wrath).
