Complete novice

Hello all,

I am trying to remove a radiator so that I can build a wall in the living room. Drained the system, removed the radiator and now I am a little stuck now that it's come to removing the pipes sticking up from the floor.

I was told this was a simple job of cutting the pipes as close to the join and popping on some 15mm compression caps. So I bought the pipe cutter and caps, lifted the boards and was met with what you see in the pictures.

My question is, where am I supposed to be cutting the pipes? I cannot see a joint apart from where they are connected to a plastic/rubber tube.

Any thoughts? And thanks in advance

Cut the copper 6" past the plastic push fit elbow and put the stop end there.

Hey - hope you're well, These two pipes on my boiler have started leaking - not tons of water, but regularly and enough to be an issue. The insulation around both have become holed / broken, presumably from said water. You can see a photo here: Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 06.42.32.png -...

This issue arose about a year ago. Does anyone have an idea why I occasionally hear (about once every hour or longer) a hammer related noise coming from my copper water pipes when no water is being used? It basically sounds like the noise you hear after the water shuts off when your toilet bowl...

Hoping for some advice on the use of AAVs while plumbing in my new bathroom. There is a sketch of the waste layout in the link below. All of the plumbing is concealed within floorboards or stud walls, so I can't have any AAV's on show. There are 2 voids either side of the bathroom and an AAV at...
