I have a friend in a ex-council property. They don't know anything about DIY, so I am helping them.
I found a leak in a copper waste, it seems it is corroded from underneath. Ideally the entire section, which goes to the council main pipe needs to be change. However, that would involve breaking wall. So may be as a resolution, may be to cut a small section of copper.
I am wondering whether parts are still available?. From old copper system to newer plastic systems.
I am trying to help my friend. How do I know if a potential plumber can do the job? How can I check their competence?. One well known big plumbing firm, wanted £105 p/h (just to make an assessment), just to look at the job, to see if they can do it or not....
