I discovered yesterday that we have lead water pipe in the house we've moved in to.
It wasnt picked up on the survey, as the stopcock and pipe is cast iron, so assumed a cast iron supply.
I had the kitchen floor up yesterday and theres a lead pipe connecting to it.
I've some moling people coming next week to check and quote to replace.
Water supply/meter is in the street, buried in an access pipe about 1m deep. This does a 10m straight line (I assume) to the kitchen, then a right angle intontge property.
Anyone want to hazard a cost to replace? Obviously I'll compare quotes, however, it'll be nice to hear your guestimates so I have a baseline.
For what its worth, the checkatrade blog reckons £500/£1000 for a 20m pipe run (https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/main-water-pipe-replacement-cost/)
Am on the sarf coast if that makes a difference
Thanks in advance
