Removing/Replacing Private Shared Water Supply to Terraces

If you are building a conservatory over the route of a water supply pipe and it could not easily be diverted then it would be sensible to put in place a duct at a depth of 750 mm with a draw string so that a replacement water pipe could be put in place later if required.

SLightly shifting the thread, I was asked to put a stop tap at a convenient hieght for a pensioner, she wanted it at the front of her sink unit, just inside the door.
To cut a long story short, once I had turned off the shared supply in the back alley, leadlocked on to the lead pipe coming out of the floor behind the sink unit, run a new bit of pipe to a Hep2O stop tap.

Iwent next door to relight their combi, no water would come through!

I thought Id nackered the stop tap in the alley but discuvered water would flow through the new stop tap.

Further examination showed that the cold main raises in the first house to just behind the sink unit, then branches off and goes to next door.

How does that get sorted out?

Hi there, sorry to bump the thread but could you tell me if/how you solved this problem?

After trying to find out why my house has low water pressure i have discovered that i myself have this set up :( Any help will be much appreciated.

It would be worth rerouting the other supplies behind your conservatory, whether or not you have your own main replaced. Can you get them all to request new supplies?
