Old pipe

Featured Replies

I have uncovered what seems to be a steel pipe in the kitchen which sits just below the floor joists and next to the external wall.

 

I think this maybe the original gas supply.

 

We only have the boiler which seems to be supplied with 28mm copper pipe. On the other wall.

 

If this grey pipe is redundant how much could I expect to pay to have a gas plumber check and remove this pipe.

 

It's bang in the way if a new 110mm spil pipe' s new location.

 

TIA

As you say it might be redundant, can you trace it back to anywhere? H inside and out if possible

 

If it were mine, I'd find the ends, see if it's capped, if it's open then happy days.

 

If it's capped i'd consider opening it up, but be prepared to be isolating the gas and calling a plumber if it is live. Best do it during a period where you can live without the boiler for a few days do it can be done at leisure rather than an emergency call out.

Had one gas plumber today who suggested to give the pipe a shake!

 

He didn't think it has a supply either as he can see our gas supply.

 

Time to progress to see if I can see the extreme if the pipe!
