Emergency? Call 0330 520 1963Lead water pipes pose a serious health risk, particularly to young children and pregnant women. If your property was built before 1970, the incoming water supply pipe from the mains is likely lead. Lead dissolves into water and accumulates in the body, causing developmental and learning issues in children. We replace lead pipes with modern copper or MDPE plastic supply pipes — a straightforward job that improves water quality immediately. Our engineers are experienced in lead pipe identification and safe removal. We handle all the paperwork, water authority liaison, and optional testing to confirm water quality before and after replacement. The job typically takes 4–6 hours and includes full reinstatement of driveways and gardens.
We inspect your water supply pipe, confirm it's lead, and optionally test your water quality before work starts.
The old lead pipe is carefully removed and disposed of safely according to environmental regulations.
A new copper or MDPE supply pipe is installed from the mains connection to your property, to full water authority standards.
We test the new pipe under pressure, flush it thoroughly, and fully reinstate any excavated areas.
We'll call you within the hour to confirm.
