WHY NEW PIPES?
I'm currently in the early stages of renovating a large old property consisting of 5 bedrooms ( one of which will be converted into a main family bathroom, the small original being turned into a shower room ). There is the world's oldest boiler c1982 in an outhouse which hasn't been used for 2/3 years as house has been empty. The house contains a mixture of old and newish radiators.
There appears to be enough copper piping installed to equip a Saudi Arabian oil refinery,
In the quotes I've received there appears to be a requirement to take out all the piping, and replace it with up to 125m of copper piping to service the Worcester 42cdi boiler.
As a layman, I can't inderstand why all the existing piping has to be taken out, though I can appreciate that the piping to the radiators may need to be increased in size.
Could some one enlighten me please
