Lead Pipe Renewals
Replace ageing or damaged lead water supply pipes with a safer, more reliable new pipe installation.
Warning SignsDo You Need Lead Pipe Renewal?
Many older properties across the North East still rely on original lead water supply pipes. While these pipes can last for decades, they are vulnerable to corrosion, joint failure and ground movement over time.
When a lead supply pipe begins to deteriorate, it can cause recurring leaks, reduced water pressure and potential water quality concerns. In many cases, renewing the pipe entirely is more cost-effective and reliable than repeated repairs.
Our lead pipe renewal service includes a full assessment of your existing pipework, route planning for the replacement, and professional installation of a new supply pipe from the boundary to your property.
Common signs include:
- Recurring leaks on your water supply pipe
- Noticeably poor water pressure throughout the property
- Old lead pipework visible at the stopcock or boundary
- Water quality concerns or discolouration
- Visible ageing, corrosion or damaged pipework
- Previous failed repair attempts on the same pipe
