water rates
Hello, I'm new to all this... I bought a property in April, but as it was a reposession, I'm having to refurbish it completely, and am yet to move in.

Replacing Water Pipe to House
Hi All I wish to replace the current water pipe from the street stopcock to my property to the new 32mm "blue" pipes in order to improve the flow rate (at the moment - if someone turns on the tap whilst I'm having a shower - the rate pretty much slows to a trickle).
