Question for the group - we're in the process of replacing the kitchen, just pulled out the last of the old one & the below is how our mains water is coming into the house.
Do you think this is fine or does it look like a bodge by a previous owner (and so we should get someone out now to fix while there's no kitchen boxing it in)?
Just feels a bit like someone has roughly hewn through the concrete slab the house is built on so is probably not the original connection (there's a lot of dodgy DIY hidden through the house already).
Not helped by the constant hissing from the same pipe - Thames water think there's a leak (one engineer measured it to 1200 litres an hour!) in the main line outside but aren't doing anything about it as it's on a shared customer side connection.
