hello, me again
in the process of ripping down my vestibule to partition off for a new hallway and have come across 3 15mm copper pipes inside... pretty sure 2 are for heating - flow and return( they get hot when heating on) not sure what the other one is, i need to re-route these but don't wanna open up a big can of gas flavoured worms.... any advice appreciated
thanks

its at front of house away from all waterworks at back, but nearish the gas meter, doesn't get hot at all..... the radiators are all on microbore pipes so where these 15mm pipes come from i dunno, must be under floor?
strange house....

Is there water in that area.

15mm is not very large for a gas pipe, and certainly well under for modern boilers, so may feed a gas fire or something.
