Do you want to just hide the pipe in a pipe cover as per the above link or box the whole thing in?

I want to box it in, in a way that looks tidy. It measures 7.5 cm to the top of the pipe, from the wall. I thought I would need to batten and MDF it...

Do you reckon you could remove and re-fit the coving around the boxing?

What happens around the corner to the right of the picture?

I did consider extending the ceiling by boxing the whole lot. The ceiling would be extended at the same level and then straight up. I could then fit the coving to this section, as you are suggesting.

However, to the right the pipe goes into the slope of the stairs. It pierces through the bottom of this section. That would still look odd.

All things considered, I was planning to create a box all the way along (horizontal and vertical) the pipe and leave the coving in place.

This feels like an eyesore too. Not sure how well I have explained this.

You could try boxing to the ceiling and re fixing a new bit of coving.
Just a side note what is it carrying? I guess water, but any gas pipes in boxing should be ventilated at both ends.

It’s a gas pipe. It comes up in a cupboard where it’s open and then enters the boiler cupboard upstairs where it is open too. I assume that means that I can box it up here?

I like the coving idea and boxing up to the top. I just have that section in the side that will still look odd.
