Unexpected increases in your water bills
-
Constant movement on your water meter
-
Low water pressure

Damp patches in your lawn or driveway

Standing water with no obvious source

Our specialist leak detection technology enables us to locate leaks quickly, reducing excavation, saving time and keeping repair costs to a minimum.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. WHAT IS THE COST OF REPLACING LEAD WATER PIPES?

Q. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING OLD LEAD WATER PIPES?
A. The homeowner is responsible for replacing any lead pipes within the boundary of their property.
Q. CAN YOU SELL A HOUSE WITH LEAD PIPES IN THE UK?
A. Yes, you can sell a house with lead pipes, but you must legally disclose their presence to potential buyers as part of regulatory requirements.
Q. IS IT WORTH CHANGING THE LEAD WATER PIPE?
A. Although it’s not a legal requirement, replacing lead pipes is recommended because long-term exposure to lead can pose health risks.
Q. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF LEAD IN DRINKING WATER?
