Our gas fitters at work us a burning mat when they are blow torching pipes. You should be able to get one of these from a good DIY store or Plumbing Merchant for a couple of quid.

A junior hacksaw will cut them down to within 2 or 3 mm of the bottom of the cubby, which is good enough for most applications, generates no heat and no risk of fire.

That's what I did in the end after considering angle grinding to get flush  s:? :? s:?
