Any ideas folks as my plasterer/tiler has not come across one like it before ??? http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/41042170z1388766c/9f7f/__sr_/a8a8.jpgphUJcuCBCzok...

an extension piece. Dont know where you get em, but the guy who fitted our radiator used one as the new rad was slightly smaller than the one removed. Male on one end, female on the other, like an extended chrome tap adapter measures about 2" or so.
Never came across the problem myself so can't really say whats available to sort it.
