Could this have been done better?

Could it have been done better? Yes

It is unsafe/dangerous? Maybe. Other people have discussed this already.

Was the option of hiding the pipe discussed?

Did you discuss your problem with the engineer immediately during or after the installation?

Can you go to a restaurant, eat a meal, pay the bill and then complain? Yes but probably not the best idea.

My recommendation is to call the engineer and discuss in a calm and reasonable matter the problem. If you want a neater pipe then you may get luck and he will do it for free. If you want it hidden, then it will cost you more.

Thank you. They were GSR I checked on the register it's just the copper piping that spoils everything. I wanted to know if it could be hidden safely or what's the alternative. I just want to know what to ask for.

Box it in but use cups and screws

Wow lol.

That fire can't be fully back to the wall.

Being a fuel effect I would have personally got a gas safe registered engineer around yesterday. (must have the fire element check back of card)

In regards to the pipework, it could have been done better but the main concern would be products of combustion entering the room if that type of fire isn't flush with the chimney.

Don't plaster straight onto a chimney, the heat will cause it to crack overtime
