I cannot see how to remove it without flooding the room as the pipes
and connections are in-line going vertically into theladderand hence
I cannot put anything underneath them to catch the water.


Any advice or pointers gratefully received !

Wet/Dry vacuum cleaner hel next to the valve will produce enough
suction to divert the water. Worked for me anyway.

Thanks all for the replies. I need to look into the options further
and we'll attempt something this weekend !

Thanks once again - Andrew....
