"Absolutely is possible along as its accessible. Will require a drain down and also recommend replacing the valves either side"

"In short, Yes. System would ideally need to be drained down to allow pipework to be cut back so it can be altered but it can be done, it also depends how much of the pipework is being replaced and how accessible it is."

"Yes as long as there's access to existing pipework or alternative route for the new pipework all depends on how much or how little you want to replace"

"Hello,

Yes anything possible, just depends on what's involved. Can cut low to floor and re-pipe from there. Or under floor depending on what it is."
