£much?
I was blessed/cursed with lead in my first place. Couldn't get the Water Company to replace the feed, but got an oldschool plumber to joint in copper and I took it from there.

Could you joint in your new pipe to the pipe just prior to the outside stop tap?

As I've got plenty of room under the board's I'll be putting a duct in and leaving enough to run under the front path and kitchen floor once I pull that up. It'll mean all a plumber has to do is connect into the utilities up front and the same at the back (the stop cock) I would imagine under a grand.

Turns out the lead pipe is borked. Leaking in a couple places but the plumbers have patched it up for now.
It'll all need completely replacing before long but hopefully that's a job I can do next year.
Owning a 150+ year old house is fun isn't it?
