    Hi Guys.

    Hoping someone can advise.
    I'm just purchasing a new house and I had a snag list conducted a few weeks ago but today opening cupboards under the kitchen I found something new.

    There is pipework under the cabinet next to the hob so it would have most likely been a designated food or delph stoarage cabinet. The pipework is gas/water supply system.

    I noticed there the pipework is in front of corkbord. The corkbord to be honest looks dirty with mold on it and some mold on the pipe work cables also.
    I'm not happy with this as to be honest cork bord in an area where condensation is anticipated due to working appliances seems like a recipe for a mold problem.

    Can anyone tell me is it normal practice to use cork bord to support pipes like this? I will discuss with the builders but I just wanted some information prior to talking to them.

    That is Sterling board not cork board.

    Normal enough. Mold is probably because it got damp at some point or is still getting damp and would appear on any board.

    Is there a yellow valve on the copper pipe? If so it's gas,
