Good afternoon all,
First time posting on this site.
I’m need of some opinions from Gas engineers if possible.
My house is 1930s (I think). I have some very old gas pipes sticking out of random places. Mostly nest to light pendants.
This has made me believe it’s an old gas/heat/lightning system?
This is a council house and I have questioned them months ago on this but they are slow in responding.
I’ve been in the property 6 months and will be updating and doing loads of bits to the place.
What scares me, is the old secondary system still a live system? I can see some pipes hardly flush and obviously in them days we didn’t have prescribed zones (I’m a sparks by trade myself).
Also what scares me is what I found yesterday whist rewiring and flushing in sockets in one of the room.
From what I see near the meter outside is 2 pipes entering my property live and not capped off outside.
In my boy’s bedroom is a cap off but looks scary to me?
What do you guys think ?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
