Whats he going to do if the shower pipework is in the wall?

Two cuts will be needed, of course, on each pipe and they had better be spot on otherwise putting it all back together again afterwards is going to make for very entertaining watching.

yes quite agree & don't forget the two holes in the tiles so he can turn them off again

It isn't'

The cold feed to the electric shower goes through the wall in the old airing cupboard.

The shower plumbing is already there.

Thanks its just that 10 posts in nobody had actually asked. Doing it in situ with the both ends of the pipe fixed and imoveable ain't nowhere as easy as joining two lengths of copper together with it all sitting on your knee. Particularly if your access is a tad challenging.
