Lead pipes

[broggo]

Got called to an open vent system today with reports of no water pressure to hot bath tap only.
First thought was a faulty jumper washer but soon realised there was a bigger problem.
As you can see from pictures the hot pipe had been leaking and furred up causing a blockage inside the pipe
Priced to rip all lead pipe out of house.
Great example of how you should never turn the little jobs down

But don't you need to get in a special decontamination team to remove old lead because of the risk of blood poisoning - or was that something I read that the HSE are considering as the next nice excuse for removing money from the pockets of residents of older properties?

I'll do that for a reasonable price:wink_smile: and make sure all that highly dangerous lead is safely disposed of down my local scrappies.

Still some left which will be stripped next week.
Before you ask I split it 50 - 50
