Yeh, I suspect it will make a big difference, and chances are we'll go ahead with it... Yeh, I was surprised aswell. But they were adamant that unless we can get to the existing stop box there would be a new connection fee plus excavation costs, and even if we got to box, would still have a...

Well that didn't quite go according to plan :( It appears that I am unable to use the 'Lead Replacement scheme' as the part of the pipe that Bristol Water are responsible for was replaced when next door had their own main ran in. Therefore as I still share the original lead main I have 2...
