Lead water pipes - severn trent

hello all,
Applied to severn trent, said they only replace the service pipe from the water mains to the boundary. I have to pay to replace the boundary to the rest of the property. Anybody had experience of this and what it could cost potentially? Is it worth doing?

Our whole house still had the old lead pipes when we moved in 4 years ago - bit by bit we replaced them (we replaced the kitchen and both bathrooms, so easy enough to do as we went along). All that remains is the pipework under the driveway - one day we intend to re-do the drive, but it's on the long-list of things that need doing. We'll look at replacing the piping when we do the drive.
In the meantime, I remind myself that the people before us had lived here for 20 years with no ill-effects - and I use a water filter for all drinking and cooking water.No longer a spouse, or trailing, but MSE won't allow me to change my username...0
