If you've got some wire wool, flux and a blowtorch this will sort it permanently.

you cant get in or around that with any fittings so best thing to do as a very temporary solution is to wrap a screw with ptfe tape that gets thicker along its thread and screw it in, taking care not to screw through the other end of pipe. will get you out of a pickle until monday.

That wont work, look at where the tee joint is, he wouldn't be able to get a copper cutter in there between that and the joist. If OP has someone coming out to it Monday it just needs to last a day or 2.https://www.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-pipe-repair...

One of these from wickes will sort you out (if you have some play in the pipe)

I _hate_ plumbing, but this looks like an easy fix?
Cut the pipe either side of the joist and then connect up a new section. Either yorkshire solder fittings if doing it properly, or speed fit fittings if being a bit of a bodger (although they're actually good!). Easy fix and no need to get someone out.
Easier than pissing about soldering patches in etc.
