Thames water are only liable to replace up to the front of your property. We decided to replace ours at the beginning of our renovation, it cost £800 and fucked up our front steps. But they were shit anyway and needed work. Once they are re-tiled it will look great and we know we now have plastic pipe work. Also increased our flow rate (the lead pipes are tiny) so water pressure will be higher.
