What do you think I should do with it? I sort of want to rip it up and see what's under there (see if I can do away with it all together)/make the hole around the pipe good.
Imo it depends on your capacity to remedy it. Our plaster made a really good point in relation to existing bodges / workarounds - "there's always a reason".
To me the boxing in looks well done. My assumption is that if you remove it you will have to remove the floor boards, redo the pipe work, refit the floor boards.
If you can do that then it will look neater and give you more usable space. If you can't and you're thinking you'll be able to make a smaller box or a neater pipe run, I think it's a waste of time that would be better spent getting a really high quality finish on the box to make it neater.
... Or thinking aloud here insulate that window wall. Then you may hardly notice the boxed section.

I'm having another pass at my home office after living with it for a couple of years - digging out cracks and repainting in general. Theres this pipe cover running down one length of the room which I've sort of butchered to fit in a deeper rad (think floor the pipe angle).

Am I being silly and should I just leave it?
Before anyone says it - levelling out the rad is part of my journey
