Is it all going to come apart easily for you just to change the washer in quick time?

I saw a video clip the other day of a plumber stuffing a piece of white bread (it has to be white ) in 15mm copper pipe to hold back remaining water in the pipe so he could solder a joint. You cannot solder with any water in a pipe. The bread dissolves sufficiently for it not to cause blockages.

Turning on all the other taps to reduce flow sounds a good idea.

Do you have a plan B if things start to go wrong?
