Box behind loo. What lurks inside?

[oneinchpunch_uk]

Hi. There is a boxed off section behind my sink toilet and an even larger one behind my shower. What is likely to be behind this? I could use the additional space, so could it be removed?

Would it be complicated to move everything back towards the wall?

Thanks for your answer

Probably pipes, lots of pipes.

Depends how much money you want to throw at it.

The only way to be sure is remove a section, boxing in a bathroom usually hides pipework and drainage . Kop

What vintage is the house please and how deep are the boxed in sections. Also are the boxes likely to contain plumbing for other bathrooms etc.

For the shower you could have one where the valve is inside the shower cubicle if that would be helpful.

Other question is what is behind the wall, and is the wall masonry or wood/plasterboard etc.

A few photos night possibly be helpful.

Cheers,
