Straight answers

Lead pipe replacement, your questions

Is lead pipe actually dangerous?
UK guidance is unambiguous: no safe level, with children and pregnancy highest-risk. Hard-water scale coats some pipes protectively, but that's mitigation, not a fix, and it washes off when work disturbs it.
What does replacement cost?
From £750 for a short moled run; longer or surfaced routes quoted after the survey. Check our note on water company contribution schemes first, some of the cost may not be yours.
Can I just filter instead?
Point-of-use filters reduce lead at one tap and need religious cartridge changes. As a permanent whole-house answer, they lose to replacement on every axis except this month's cash flow.
