[kickasskev]

Hi, Im wanting to board my loft, but I have pipe work problems

Take a look at the video

Basically I need the cheapest option to by pass and board over these pipes.
They are from when we got the combi boiler fitted a couple of year back.
Is this a messy job or just normal?

I think I will need a plumber to re pipe these whats your thoughts

Thanks Kev

Yes shouldn't be hard to tidy up the pipe work.
Making boarding out straightforward.

Anyone have a rough idea of what a plumber would charge to tidy it up?

If they`re not frightened /uninsurable for Hot Working ( blowlamp) in the attic - I would guess aTon£ plus parts , , can`t see a pukka job for less. Unfortunately it is a messy job you`ve got - but that`s normal now

Is your boiler in the loft? If not it may be possible to do away with most, or all of that pipework.

Thanks for the replies

The boiler is in the cupboard on the opposite side below the loft.

Where's the pipe insulation? Did you remove it for the video?

Not a great job, but seems to be quite common standard of work these days.

First job to do is fit a fluorescent light with cover in the loft.

Hi, no insulation on these pipes im affraid, I thought that it didn't seem like the best job in the world, but under the circumstances it was a kinda of a rush job, few days before christmas, we had no heating for a week prior and they said they would squeeze it in before xmas.
I think they have just bodged it together any old way because it was out of sight.
Just a run of the mill combi coming from back boiler (carbon minoxide leak from back boiler thank heavens for the ALARM), they were here for 12 hours and completed in the day £1400 it cost

£1400 to convert from back boiler to combi. That's a cheap job, and it shows. If it's not insulated, then the job isn't even finished. Wonder what other horrors are lurking.

Just make sure that the pipes are insulated before winter, otherwise could be messy if it freezes.
