Ok, I know the answer to this is to ask a professional but I'm curious as to whether anyone here can suggest anything, as I'm stumped!
Further to my investigations of my new house, I was having a little explore round another blocked off fireplace just now (I've only made a little hole in the wall, honest guv!) when I started wondering what a bit of nearby pipework could be. This room is in a corner of the house, so outside walls on the two sides concerned. The pipe comes up out of the floor at one side of the chimney breast, runs all the way in front of it at ground level, round the corner and into the wall at the other side. It doesn't reappear outdoors or upstairs (that I can see). From it's appearence, I'd have said it's a central heating pipe but the radiator is on the opposite wall My second thought was that it might have been for an old gas fire but why would it run right along the chimney breast in that case? And why disappear into the wall in the apparaantly opposite direction to the gas supply
Basically, I've got a pipe that pops up, runs around around the room for a bit and that's it!
Any thoughts?
