I've been investigating pipework ready to move a radiator, I notice that the radiator has been moved previously and a combination of solder and compression joints used. I suspect the solder was done out of the floor and then compression to finish off, possibly to reduce fire risk. What would you do? Are there fireproof sheets available to prevent fire?
Also the pipework is not far from a gas pipe (maybe 6 inches), so I'm wondering if they may have opted for compression due to that too?
