    Thanks slowbuilding...bloody hell, that's a lot of work. You say the previous owners had raised the floor level....what had they used/done to do this? (Just so I know what to avoid!)

    Found this in case anyone is interested. Wish they did pipe lagging to stop the sodding mice eating it.

    For a recent client who had mice eating the pipe insulation I suggested wrapping it in expanded metal. Not cheap, and probably won't prevent 'surface nibbling', but will avoid serious attack, probably.

    Thanks Nick...I had thought of that but it still worries me. I am now waiting for a plumber to come and look to see if I can move the pipes. Also thinking about using foamed glass on the floor, sides and on top of a load of EPS board to help bring cost down.

    What type of pipes are they?

    Hep20 is easy to use for a DIY fix

    Do you mean pipes such as water supply? Central heating? Or do you mean pipes such as waste pipes etc?
