Cut it back. Leadlock and cap end.

When you say its been cut off, do you mean today ?

Years ago but has been causing damp problems all over walls. Its in a old wc back room in an old terraced house. It has about 3 inches left on it so is really hard to work on. I've turned water of internally but still coming through. The feed has been changed to mdpe pipe so im guessing its not on the main feed. Are there any plumbers in the chester area next week to have a look

Is it possible to freeze this pipe?

Typically lead supplies to outhouses etc were joined in the supply underground before the house stopcock.
The only way to isolate is in the street, which in Terraces can isolate the whole terrace.

The Mdpe may not go all the way back to the street.

Hammer it shut then call a plumber if you arent one yourself
