Plumbers

[thumper93]

i have tried 4 plumbers in my area to do a small 10 min job (blanking off a very accessible pipe)
"no job too small" they advertise... not one has replied !

[ummmm]

A DIY'er could do that.

[Octavius]

A DIYer would do it for a cup of plumbers petrol.

[thumper93]

yeh true i dont know any diy'ers could prob do it myself if i buy a gas blow torch but its has to be done properly.its not my property

[thumper93]

had it been a screw joint i'd have no problem doing it

[DrFilth]

thumper you don't need a gas thing they use a compression cap (spelling / )
check your pipe width and ask at your local B and q

all i used was a hacksaw and a couple of adjustabled spanners

[Baldric]

How about a Compression Cap, no gas needed

[Baldric]

If it's a gas pipe it has to be soldered

[DrFilth]

and a file after cutting the pipe

I'll do it for you free of charge. You can then call in a regular plumber for a major job.

Try translating into Polish and put the ad in the window at the Post Office. I have an excellent Polish plumber, who I would recommend to anybody !
