Cutting old gas pipe to floor level & sealing

[Terrywookfit]

Probably a 3 hr job if he is on the Bus !!.....@ £84 per hr.

Anyone who attends a job to cap a pipe without various cap ends and BI plugs is a fookin Charlatan !!!

As said redundant gas pipes should be sealed under floor it should be soldered if copper or with a screwed plug and sealant if iron, never compression or union type fitting.
Expose the pipe by lifting the floor board and explain to your gas safe engineer what wants doing if he does not have to lift a floorboard or anything more than a tea cup and a biscuit it should be a fairly small charge.

Define "small charge". Can't wait for this

My mortgage company, local garage and all my utilities suppliers all graciously accept cups of tea and biscuits and obligingly charge me a small charge also.

Cuckoo!

Small charge definition; less than a Large charge

Way to pay over the odds, ask BG or a national heating installer!
Best bet, look at the registered gas engineers register for someone that lives local and can pop in on the way home.

Interesting question, do you need to be registered to work for profit on redundant gas pipes. (that should get the thread going!)

Ah. A variation of the old "when you have spare time".

If I stop at a job, big or small, I am NOT "on the way home" until that job is finished.

If I do a job in my spare time, it is not "spare" anymore

What about the other end of this pipe ? surely that should be capped as well ?
