If you’ve made the decision to get replacement pipework for your lead supply pipe, what action do you need to take next? This may seem like a big undertaking that could be potentially disruptive, but it’s best to be systematic about it. You’ll find it’s a lot more straightforward than you might think.
Who Pays for the Work?
This is obviously a crucial question, and normally you would have to pay for replacement supply pipe within the boundary of your property. This boundary extends from the stop tap on the communication pipe in the street into your property. Your local utility provider takes responsibility for the communication pipe, but the responsibility for the supply pipe is yours alone.
So, if you’re paying for the work, how do you go about finding someone to carry it out? While there are people willing to do this work for themselves, but you should only take this route if you really know what you’re doing and you’re willing to put up with any mess or complications.
