@CBW
Sorry, no idea about all the jargon, is the speed fit pipe the white one? And what do you mean by protected?
and it technically won’t be underground, it’ll be under the floorboards but not in any dirt? Does that help?
Amazing thanks very much,
It doesn’t turn so it must already be quite tight, and it’s absolutely huge lol so I might need to find a big set of pliers to be able to grip it.
We had a plumber come round to fix a leaky lead pipe.
Long story short: we had the lead content tested and we don’t need to replace it all under the house.
But there was a section that came out of the ground before joining on to the internal copper pipes.
The bit of exposed lead had a leak in...
@Tigercubrider thanks for that, worth cutting away an inch or so of plaster around it to see do you think? Even if it's sealant it'll need replastered anyway I'm sure.
Just moved into a new house with a gas fire.
The stone on the fire place seems decent but the fire surround is a really cheap looking stone effect resin we think.
Does anyone know what our chances are of removing it ourselves without destroying the wall or stone behind?
Added pics to help...
