Cutting pipe close to wall

[timbim]

I've got some 15mm copper pipe fitted very close to the wall (15mm clearance). I want to cut it leaving a clean enough cut for a push-fit connector. There are pipes directly below, so a hacksaw won't be an option. At one end of the stretch is a compression fitting (at the stop-cock), at the other is a very complicated arrangement of soldered tees and elbows. Slightly to that side of the place I want to cut is a pipe passing close over the top of the pipe in question, meaning that even if I disconnect at the stop-cock, it probably won't pivot out far enough to admit a pipe cutter between the pipe and the wall.

Any intelligent suggestions as to how to cut this?

Chisel a small channel in the wall so you have access

Most copper pipes will bend about 15 mm in 1m without any problem.

In the old days we didn't have pipe slices, close cuts were done by putting the blade of a junior hacksaw behind the pipe with teeth facing you, then fit back into saw and cut towards you...... Seemples
