“My downstairs neighbour complained that water was coming through their bedroom ceiling at 6pm. Kevin attended within 2 hours, investigated, and traced the leak back to my neighbour's own water tank — isolating the issue so they had time to contact their landlord. A great, reliable plumber, even if his jokes are mince.”

Lead Pipe Replacement in Newington
Lead Pipe Replacement for Newington’s tenement flats
From Clerk Street and Newington Road to the Victorian villas around Mayfield and the edge of the Grange, Newington mixes tenement flats — many of them let — with larger family homes.
Tenements built before the 1970s often still have lead on the rising main or the supply into each flat. Replacing it usually means coordinating with neighbours — which we do for you.
Many period villas still have a lead supply from the street to the stopcock, even after the internal pipework has been upgraded. We check exactly where it is and replace what’s needed.

- Lead pipe identification and assessment
- Full and partial lead pipe replacement
- Modern, compliant pipework fitted throughout
- Coordination with neighbours on shared supplies

It's nice having someone you can trust to get the job done properly.”
