Leaking water pipes

[Duke748ski]

I have an old Georgian terraced house which has a shared supply (shared with one next door neighbour and the upstairs flat three doors down!) The supply comes in through my neighbours house via a 15mm copper pipe. I am experiencing a lot of leaks in the kithen due to copper joints corrosion. As soon as I fix one another on goes a month or so later.

We are all trying to get our own seperate supplys in the street.

Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Thanks

Use soldered joints if your using compression fittings. soldered joints are alot more reliable. Or replace the lot

In the meantime you can run plastic pipe and pushfit fittings - but use compression fittings from the copper/plastic - with liners - you can run it all temporary until the supplies are sorted ie. in front of the kitchen units etc. it don`t need to look pretty
