Moving down laundry water valves in brick wall

[plumbeta]

Hi guys,
I was thinking of hiding the laundry valves behind the washing machine . The valves are fitted in a brick wall.

I believe it might involve ripping out the plaster, copper pipes etc.
Any advice on how to do it &/ or link to website/ video would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Connect your washing machine up to the pipe work under the sink next to it if you don't like the hose on show
And if you don't like the valves, hang some towels on them
I wouldn't go to the bother of trying to remove them if its only in a utility/laundry room

Someone put them in that position for a reason. I suspect pipes run down wall and they are a visual indicator not to drill wall above.
