Lead Pipe Replacement

At Flo Utilities, we specialise in the safe and efficient replacement of lead pipes throughout Stoke and surrounding areas, covering a 15-mile radius including Derbyshire, Stafford, Stone, Rugely, and Cannock. With modern understanding of lead's health implications, ensuring your water system is lead-free has become essential for any property built before 1970.

Why Replace Your Lead Pipes?

Lead pipes in older properties pose significant health risks, particularly to pregnant women, young children, and developing babies. Over time, lead can leach into your drinking water, potentially causing serious health concerns. Properties built before 1970 commonly used lead for plumbing, and despite modernisation efforts, many homes still retain original lead supply pipes running from the water company's stop valve to your property.

Beyond health benefits, replacing your lead pipes with modern 25mm MDPE piping offers several advantages:

• Superior water quality and taste through elimination of lead contamination
• Increased water pressure and flow to your property
• Enhanced boiler efficiency, potentially reducing your energy bills
• Prevention of future leaks from deteriorating lead pipes
• Compliance with current water regulations
• Added property value when selling your home
