Flexi tails from stop cock

[Richieduliban]

Okay so ive gone back to copper, grying to copy the cold pipe. Will I definitely need to secure it to the wall or cabinet?

A marked improvement Richie. Yes it would need clipping of some sort, you also have a kink in the flexi on the vertical. Also can’t tell much from photo, and I should have pointed it out before, the hot pipe should be above the cold to prevent undue warming (water regulations).

I have seen neater pipework in a skip !!

I think you mean in 'your scrap pile'.

That was how the person who did it previously laid it out , but it makes sense. Yes I’m planning to add a tee and use a shorter flexi tap so that should solve the kink. Thanks again.

calling me a bodge.

They're not calling you a bodge @Richieduliban , they're calling the job a bodge.

If you have compressed/bent/twisted the flexi pipe braiding then that can create a weak point for the pressure in the internal rubber pipe to exploit. Not a good idea to use a damaged flexi long term. Just something to remember when fitting the new one.
