Cold air

[richard2k84]

Hi

My water mains pipe comes up into our Kitchen extension, which gets really cold in winter and it froze last winter with all the snow we had. Directly in front of the water mains is a air brick were i assume the cold air is coming in and also the big hole around the pipes in the floor boards.
I was thinking of using that expanding foam for the floor boards. Is this ok to go around the water pipes. Also What do you suggest I do about the air brick. Is it needed.

Thanks

Rich

I have thought of that and i can get some foam around the main pipe, but the other pipes that are there which i assume or the hot and cold water pipes are to close together to get any foam pipe lagging around. Is there away around this do you know.

Thanks for the reply
