Hi,
I've got this obsolete and unsightly pipe that comes out of the landing floor, across the wall and into the landing cupboard.
I'm assuming this is a water pipe and not gas although being ignorant in these matters I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure your good selves can kindly tell me judging by the photo.
I actually want to get rid of this pipe by cutting it at the point where it comes out of the floor. I'm in a flat on the second floor and this pipe runs down into the communal first floor landing and into the ground floor flat. I don't think any of this pipe branches off to anywhere else so I'm only assuming at this point that it's part of an old system that's no longer in use.
If I can cut this pipe, what do I use to put another stop on the new end? It looks like old lead piping.
Thanks and hope you can help.
