Types of Pipe Replacement We Do

From single pipe sections to full house repipes.

Full House Repipe

Complete replacement of all cold and hot water pipework throughout a property. Usually done during major renovations, after repeated leaks or when upgrading from old lead or steel pipework to modern copper or plastic.

Mains Supply Pipe Replacement

Replacement of the underground water supply pipe from the external stopcock to the internal stopcock. Old lead, galvanised steel or black alkathene supply pipes replaced with new blue MDPE.

Lead Pipe Replacement

Lead pipework replaced with copper or MDPE. Essential for drinking water supplies. We handle the internal replacement. Your water company is responsible for the supply pipe up to the property boundary.

Central Heating Pipe Replacement

Replacement of corroded or leaking central heating pipework. We replace with new copper or barrier plastic pipe. Can be done as part of a boiler replacement or radiator upgrade.

Sectional Pipe Replacement

Replacing a specific run of damaged pipework rather than the whole system. Common in kitchens, bathrooms and where a single pipe run has multiple pinhole leaks.

Pipe Replacement FAQs

Common questions about pipe replacement

When should I replace pipework instead of repairing it?

If a pipe has multiple pinhole leaks, is heavily corroded, is made of lead, or has needed several repairs in the same area, replacement is usually more cost effective than repeated repairs. We give honest advice on which is the right call.

How long does a full house repipe take?

A full house repipe typically takes three to five days depending on the size of the property and the number of bathrooms. We work room by room to keep disruption to a minimum and keep your water on as much as possible.

Will you need to lift floorboards and cut into walls?

Some access is unavoidable for pipe replacement. We plan routes to minimise disruption and use existing voids wherever possible. We discuss the access needed before starting and agree the approach with you.

How much does pipe replacement cost?

Cost depends on the amount of pipework, the type of pipe and the access difficulty. A single pipe run replacement costs much less than a full repipe. We give a fixed price quote after surveying the job.

Can you replace the water supply pipe from the street?

We replace the internal section from the internal stopcock. The external supply pipe from the street boundary to the property is the water company's responsibility. We can coordinate with them if the whole supply needs replacing.

Do you guarantee pipe replacement work?

Yes. All pipe replacement comes with our workmanship guarantee. The new pipework and all connections are pressure tested and guaranteed leak free.
