Sounds like maybe I'll need to replace the the T-piece itself with a copper one, to take the new copper and replace the pipe going left as well, and replace the short big of lead going up to the copper.

Thanks. We're not on shared supply. This is in the eaves of my house. The pipe going left supplies some taps downstairs (gone now) and a toilet (in use). As I say, it will all be being replaced as we will eventually be moving the boiler and moving bathrooms etc. However, to be able to get on...

We would like to put a cooker with a ceramic hotplate (width: 900ml, depth: 670ml, height: 930ml) where this fireplace is now. Height of 930ml is about the first full course of bricks. From the door frame to the the other side of the chimney is 150cm. So should be plenty of space for cooker...
