I need to cap off an old lead water pipe in the garden as I have an new MDPE pipe water supply.

I have a Screwfix

FLOMASTA COMPRESSION REDUCING LEAD TO COPPER COUPLER 7LB 1 X 15MM (53125)​

A piece of 15 mm copper pipe.

A

FLOMASTA SOLDER RING STOP ENDS 15MM 10 PACK (68435)​

Obviously just one of these.
And a freeze kit.

My lead pipe is approx 24 to 25 mm diameter.

I believe I need to file down the lead pipe once cut to get the adaptor to fit.

Also believe that I do not need an insert for the lead pipe.

Is what I have and what I'm thinking correct?

Any information would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
 
If it's not what you are planning, you need isolate the dead section at its source. You don't want a blind section of lead (or anything else) connected to your water system.
