Quote for Lead pipe removal

Posts: 1 Newbie
I have a semi-detached property where my plumber says the lead pipe is going into the property all the way to the boiler.
To replace that with a 25mm PVC to inside the property and then connect it to the boiler with a 22mm copper pipe would cost £850.
Is that a fair quote?
Thanks

Difficult to say without knowing how long the pipe is or how deep it is buried, etc. I assume you are talking about water pipe? Why do you want to replace it?0

Lead is fine, the water company will normally test the water for you for free if you are worried.
Run the taps a bit if the water has stood for a while.Start Feb 2013 £148,900
