Found an old capped off pipe when we removed the kitchen cupboards. Can anyone help advise how to get it removed? Please no guess work I can do enough of that myself, I also know how to Google gas safe engineers. Just wondering if anyone else in has one, has had theirs removed or has removed one as part of their work. I believe it is the old 'Town gas supply' pipe. It is in the back kitchen and it looks like the meter used to be here. The supply now comes in off the main in the street in a plastic pipe to a meter cupboard on the front of the house.
 
Get the networks eg who ever does the gas laying round your area ours is wales and west etc to confirm it’s dead then you can chop it off with a grinder would drill a test hole first
