    Got a small leak at this joint but it appears soldered? Need your opinion on what to do if it is soldered

    Perhaps somebody has stupidly soldered that.
    It might have to be all cut out and removed to sort it.
    Probably a new stopcock and some pipe and all done properly with the stopcock compression joints as supposed to been used solely.
    To try to melt that solder would require all the water out of the stopcock.
     
    KIAB and Ontheway like this.
