Moving pipes

[{Dakota}]

I'm planning on tearing out my kitchen and have a completely different lay out. There's a walk in cupboard in the kitchen that I want to knock down the wall of to make my new kitchen bigger (it's not a supporting wall). This cupboard is about 5ft by 2ft. In this cupboard (along with all my junk!), is my central heating boiler, which I can work around by hiding it in a kitchen cupboard, but attached to the wall that I want to knock down is my water pipes - at least I think they are, they're grey plastic and run into my ceiling into what I assume is my water tank.

Is it easy and reasonably priced to have these moved so that they'd be against the back wall and hidden in a kitchen cupboard along with my central heating boiler?

Anything is possible with the right skills and budget. How much is impossible to say without sizing the job up and seeing what is involved but i would imagine it would involve re-routing a lot off pipes under floors etc so could be expensive.

The pipes are coming down from the loft to about half way down the wall and enter a white box thingy that looks like a large one for plugs, but it' just a box, does that make sense?

I can take pics of you want LOL

Dak. I think you need some skilled advice,. call someone in for a quote.

I can't do much from down here, but Dan showed me the photos. I'll remind him to talk to our plumber.

*might help if you knew what colour your pipes are*

[{Dakota}]

Oh thank you, I was going to ask him about it on Monday LOL

*I can't help that I don't look at the pipes every day and forgot*

[Madison68]

Come on be honest! You chuck all your crap in there and shut the door. It looked a state. Get some bleach girl.

[{Dakota}]

It's true all the crap is in there - including 2 boxes of stuff I haven't unpacked after moving in!

Bleach?? Yeuch! :p

.any chance of a pic?.................might help :o)

[hau kola]

Be careful with that bleach, it`ll send you clean round the bend.

The builder - the first pic is what I'm talking about the box they go into, the 2nd picture shows you the back wall beside the heating boilder I want them against - you can see the pipes I want moved to the left of that. Excuse the mess of the wall - no point painting the inside of a cupboard I intend to get rid of LOL

Hi Dakota...................in the first pic.....your "pipes" are conduit for electric cables as far as I can see - so all you need is an electrician to move them for you......easy :o)

[{Dakota}]

So they're not even water pipes??

[The Builder]

Knobbynuts and raysparx are both electricians............if they're around they'll confirm...................cheers
