Is this capped off correctly?

[Gary881]

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

no it’s not it should be capped with solder cap also the open ended one should be capped as well. It was a lazy way of doing it years ago, but should be done properly now. That one on ceiling have no idea what it is could be old gas lighting supply.
