Hi Chaps,
as with the previous thread I've got various DIY jobs to sort out in the kitchen (we moved in, in December).
We had to have central heating fitted and we could only get the boiler fitted it in the Kitchen for various reasons. We were going to put a cabinet over the boiler so you couldn't see anything, however this turns out its going to be £350 to do! bit over our budget im afraid.
so looking at cheaper alternatives, Can I box in these pipes and if so how do I go about it?7 Just want to box in the lower pipes, my brother is going to tile upto the pipes (and maybe over the top of this box) so it looks neater the only issue is the pipes will need to be accessible so i'd need to box something in and have some sort of flap so they can be worked on if required.
I'm not the greatest at DIY however i'm probably going to tackle this one myself, wise choice?

I was thinking just boxing off enough to cover the pipes (so its not flush with the boiler. The boiler is slightly curved so don't think i'd be able to make something that sites flush.
can anybody offer any advice or tips?
