You have to admit, she's come up with some stonking responses!no worries, solution s found, ordered them off amazon ++ the torch works for creme brûlée so might reward myself post repair

I suppose it would be a bigger job on a pipe in a plastered wall, though!
Like this?There is a cheaper version which is two halves of a tube , one piece put over hole with rubber washer, other piece under pipe , then clamped together by four small nuts and bolts , dosent take up any space at all and can be plastered over .
So this is a permanent repair, then? Do you have a link to the seller?There is a cheaper version which is two halves of a tube , one piece put over hole with rubber washer, other piece under pipe , then clamped together by four small nuts and bolts , dosent take up any space at all and can be plastered over .

There is pushfit plastic stuff if you get stuck and you can get to it no soldering requiredHi all,
I decided to renovate the kitchen this lockdown, it was going quite well until I wanted to put up the suspension rail for the base cabinets and accidentally drilled through a water pipe. I have shut off the water in the house and I have dug around it a little and can see that its not a full hole just a dent in a copper pipe but water still leaked out.
I had some milliput from when I did the sink plumbing so I have temporarily stuck that on, but what next? Is there a permanent solution, I don't want to pay for a plumber unless I absolutely have to.
Please advise.
thanks
UPDATE*** Solution found.
You need 3 things :
Soldering Flex Paste
Flowflex repair patch
Gas burner mini blow torch.
takes 20-30 min.
@lenny,
I put a cable and plug on one of these Emergency Lights (see link) and leave it plugged in dark cellar.
Then if there is a power failure (at least at the sockets) it comes on so I can get out of basement (or unplug it and use it as a torch).
Would be better wired into lighting circuit, but for me my 'plug in version' works better - especially as its permanently on green 'standby' LED glow makes it easty to find and illuminates most of the cellar anyway.

I caught a pipe last year.
Replacing floorboards - helpfully, someone had painted the floorboards to show the position of the pipework underneath. Unhelpfully, when a new heating system was added, the installer didn't carry on the trend. I cursed myself for not checking. Although I did find out that I have not one, not two, not three, but four stop cocks. The fourth one was difficult to find.... particularly when the lights had fused and the cellar was dark.
Lost a ceiling that day and used up every swear word I know.
