Help with identifying pipes in the loft.

[KingDiamond]

Good Evening, All.

I'm finally getting round to chopping out all the old ducting in the loft still in place from the old warm air system we replaced with Combi system, in order to Celotex and chipboard the whole loft. Just wondered if anyone can identify the 2 lagged pipes in the attached photos (album: loft pipes) before I chop. I assume they are from the old warm air system, but just need to be sure.

Any help is much appreciated.

That could well be asbestos cement flue pipe. Difficult to tell from the small images. Beware before cutting into it. Trace where it starts and finishes and ID the material if possible.
