Empty Water Tank In Attic

[Richarp]

Hi All,

i moved into a house a couple of years ago and have decided to board the loft.

I've found any empty water tank that must have been used before an immersion tank was installed but it's still connected to a pipe going into the wall.

Is it ok to remove the tank? If so, what should I do about the pipe?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

The pipe going out the wall is the over flow, if the tank is disconnected then cut it up with a hand saw and remove.

check any pipes arent live then cut them out and dispose of them.

Am I the only one removing the old tanks these days lol!!!? I always feel its a bit of a shortcut just leaving it up there just because its in the roof space...

if you cant get it through the hatch without cutting, most leave them up there

I always remove them and the wooden stolage.
