Excess pipework

[joeturbo]

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.

I have taken a bathroom suite out before prior to a professional installing new bathroom.

To remove this excess pipework would I just need to isolate the main water supply then disconnect the pipe work? Or would the whole system need draining?

Part of that mess will be the heating as it went through the coil in the old cylinder.
Put your heating on and feel which pipes get hot. Then run hot water and do the same. Mark the pipes up for both and then drain everything and reconnect under the floor. Could all be made much neater.

Plumber came around and fixed the mess

Much better.
Personally, I'd have done it all in plastic as the rest is in plastic. No need for that expensive crossover.

I think the plumber just preferred to work with copper, I didn’t specify anything, just asked if he could fix the mess

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.

BG are like BJ - both evasive . Yet BG are still in power . Tell Sid

I prefer to work with copper.
It's proper!
However, I carry enough hep bits to sort things out like that in the same materials.
I guess he only carried copper!
Still, he could have just bent a bit of copper in an arc, to jump over the middle pipe.
Guess he doesn't carry benders either.

But I'm just being picky.

Good job.
