Any idea what this is - Pipe coming from what looks like the middle of the damp proof course.

Pic uploaded to random in classified as thingumy I’ve no idea how to do it otherwise.

Edit - so that image link didn’t work either

Can't see the image but could be a drain off for the central heating system

What's on the other side of the wall? It looks like it's taken through the damp proof course too.

No idea, but I can't stretch to £10M right now 😉

Yeah I'd say either a drain point for heating system, or an old gas feed.

Is your house inflatable? Is that where you put the footpump?

Take the cap off. If you hear ghostly laughter and distant screams, put it back on again.

GB - much thanks for the upload.

I wondered about undoing it but feared the house might deflate if I did and like an air bed never be able to get enough air in before getting the back cap on.

CF you got me there I even googled it!

The other side is the kitchen. The house did originally have heating pipes run under the screed with micro bore out to each rad.

What might gas be feeding to in the garden.

GB – much thanks for the upload.

You're welcome. I just right-clicked the classified to get the location and pasted it here as an image.

The house did originally have heating pipes run under the screed with micro bore out to each rad.

So I'd guess it's a drain for those pipes.

My mate's house had (overhead) gas pipe leading into the greenhouse at the back for heating. Something like that?
