I want to permanently remove a toilet and sink and cap the pipes - Do I need a qualified plumber?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.15 PM

I want to convert a downstairs toilet into a storage room, therefore I need to rip out the toilet and sink and cap the water pipes. Is this a relatively simple task which a skilled handyman can do or should I use a qualified plumber? Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
