It's not the mortar that corrodes them, it's the movement against the brickwork as they expand and contract that eventually wears holes in them.
The pipes leading to the radiator in my hall, one of which is pissing water into the floor cavity, are unsleeved.
In fact the one of them that's forced against the brickwork coz the oik couldn't be arsed to drill a hole through the joist is the one that's leaking.
Mind you, it took about 35 years and a replacement combi for the leak to happen.Comment

That's a whole £1 down the drain.Comment

They are, it must be said, one of the most irritating groups it's been my misfortune to encounter in the last 10 years.
Empty vessels & all that.Comment
