Do you need your lead pipes replaced? If you have unpainted dull grey pipes, there is a chance they could be made of lead and need to be replaced. At Hodges Plumbing & Heating, we can carry out this replacement for you with as little disruption to your home as possible.
Lead water pipes replaced
In today’s world, we no longer use lead pipes due to the discovery of health risks associated with them. But, if your house is older and was built before 1970, your pipes may be still made from lead, as before this time, lead was a popular material used for water supply pipes. Even if some of your water pipes are made from copper, the supply pipe for your home could be lead. With the health risks of having lead contamination in your drinking water, this could be dangerous for your family (see here for more information: dwi.defra.gov.uk).
That is why it is best to call in the professionals to have a look at your pipes and see whether they need replacing. If your main water supply pipes are made with lead, we can replace them for you. While this may seem like a lot of upheaval, all of the paperwork is taken care of with United Utilities and we make sure our professional service is simple and stress-free. We will replace the lead pipes with durable MDPE water pipes, which will also increase your water pressure. This will replace the pipework from your internal stop tap up to the boundary of your property. As a member of the Water Industry Approved Plumbers’ Scheme (WIAPS), we are always the right man for the job.
Any lead pipes that need replaced and are beyond the boundary of your home will be completed by your local water authority, which will extend up to the water main in the road.
