Thanks. I've seen the short hose with integral isolation valve for
around £3.50 on eBay or Amazon, but my local DIY merchant may actually
have one on the shelf. I note your comments about scratching the paint
off, but do you not rate paint stripper? Or is it corrosive on copper?

It's just fiddly to do on an in-situ pipe. The modern stuff is not quite
as quick as old fashioned Nitromors too.
