Hello. Our gas boiler insurer no longer covers our terraced home heating system because the gas pipe running from our meter to the kitchen is steel. It runs under our wooden ground floor and its length is about 15 feet with another couple of feet for the angled bits around the meter. Would having this steel pipework replaced with copper be very expensive? Our house is a 1930s terraced build. Please see the pictures. The last picture shows the gas pioework where it enters the kitchen and splits to the gas hob and the boiler. We have an option not to replace the pipe and get insurance with another insurer who dosent exclude steel pipework. The difference between the 2 insurers policies is £170 and £565. Any thoughts are very welcome. Thanks David

Hi all, I have a gas boiler overflow pipe that runs from the external wall into my 'thermal envelope', behind my kitchen cabinets. It is only a small pipe but I live in a very windy exposed area and copper has phenomenal conductivity abilities so I figure this is a thermal bridge that I should look at. Has anyone ran such a detail through SAP, PHPP or DEAP? Ideally I'd replace the pipe with a non-conductive material but that may be unrealistic? So idea is to insulate both sides Does anyone have any suggestions as to what insulation would work here? It would have to be weather tolerant, heat resistant and hopefully look smart.
