Excess pipework

[joeturbo]

I had a heating water tank taken out years ago and opted for a combi boiler.

It looks like there is a lot of excess pipework left, would it be easy to remove the excess pipework as per the red markups in the attached?

Thanks

Yes, if you feel confident.

You should have got a plumber in the first place then it would need doing.


You should put that on the Good bad and the ugly thread.

This is the original pipework that would of been installed when the apartment was built in 2001.

I paid British Gas £2900 in 2014 to remove the original water tank and install new combi

It's not good enough. You paid good money and you should at least expect good work

You should have called them to come back in 2001 and do it properly!

This was the original tank installed with the property built in 2001. I purchased in late 2014 and the tank started leaking during the winter so was happy just to get heating at the time.

just trying to get it tidied up now

Excess pipework not a result of BG's work then?

never said it was, it’s just excess pipework from the original build that BG didn’t remove at the time of removing old tank

Looks to me that there is old and new fittings

BG must have used the white HEP fittings, the old JG were obviously the originals. Get a plumber in to open up the floor and get rid of a lot of that. Or do it yourself if you're handy enough.

All very confused, but I think that the OP is now suggesting that BG had absolutely no involvement in the creation of that pipe mess at all.

you can see the original yellow JG fittings in the picture with the cylinder, it now just minus the lagging and the pipework has been looped back into the system using the HEP fittings when the cylinder was removed, by BG I guess when they fitted the combi

Thanks, so as I said - BG should have been recalled to make a proper job of it, though far too late now.
