We did it when we were messing about downstairs. Not sure it cost us £800 though. Sure it's probably fine, but I didn't like the idea of a lead water main .

£800 seems steep but to be honest I'd rather modern pipe as it's just easier/safer etc - if anything goes tits up in the next 3-5years and the lead pipe is a fuckery to deal with will you be glad you saved the 800?

Our water pressure is great already so is it worth it?
Yes, lead can slowly poison you. We had ours did, cost a lot less than £800 but didn't require making good as it runs along our cellar wall. I'd do it personally.

You are greatly advised to replace lead pipe due to the risk. I think the issue is cost of mdpe pipes and min length you need to buy
If it’s all internal matter getting some push fit connectors and cutting the existing to fix this

So they've just ripped up the remaining floor and the cold water pipe is an old lead one.
All the water pipes these days are plastic so we could replace it but the work is apparently £800.
