Advice with a plumbed in woodburner

I’m going to contribute another thread from a ham fisted diy-er looking for advice.

In short, can anyone give me a clue in removing a woodburner that is plumbed into the central heating.

The woodburner is installed in the home of my wife’s grandmother, who is now in care.

The burner is an old arrow model, but acts as central heating and hot water.

I’ve checked the burner and it seems okay but the plumbing angle is beyond me. I’ve attached some photos that capture the burner and the best view I can obtain of the plumbing connection, which I believe connects to a normal hot water tank in the next room.

The house has a normal cold tank in the loft that gives water pressure. The cold tank runs down to feed a hot water tank in one downstairs room. I think the plumbing runs from the hot water tank and into the burner, then running back to the hit tank when heated. The plumbing seems to run behind some skirting board and I can see one pipe connector running into the burner, I can’t see another but the angle is crap.

The connection runs into the rear of the burner but isn’t accessible from inside. I presume I need to isolate the cold tank and drain it all down and then try to disconnect the plumbing from the rear of the burner.

At some point the family will sell the house, and they won’t be that impressed it it comes with additional flood damage……

I’ve checked Google/you tube and can’t see anything helpful

Thanks

Steve
