It could well be.
Call them back to uncover it. You need an external one also.Thanks,
It looks like a tap that’s been cut off to get the kitchen cupboards to fit.
But I was hoping for a more definitive answer before I try turning it.
My external stop tap is not accessible thanks to the council laying a road over it!
So I don’t want to take any chances.

If you are going to try it then suggest, wire brush from spindle to main body (2"?), soak in WD40 every day for a week, maybe slacken of the first nut a touch (1 turn) first and be gentle turning that spindle or it could snap!
Looks like a valve, that is all I can say from here.Thanks very much that’s helpful and I’ll try it that way. It is definitely a tap then?
Alladin easy fit stop valve if in a rush.
Go above then.Not sure that will work in this case, doesn't look like there's enough copper pipe between the lead pipe and the old stopcock to fit one.
Go above then.
