Feels weird posting a Video in this time, Have taken time out to reflect on stuff and found aspects of This Tougher than I first thought. With this in mind I thought I would post a video see How you guys are and with the hope you are all well and dealing with the current situ. Anyway This weeks i go into a property with stacks of Pb everywhere and remove as homeowners want it out and because there is an imbalance of pressure from cold supply to Hot on Shower and taps as system has a Mains fed hot water system Combi boiler. System changeover creates a weep on the bathroom wash hand basin which needs to be resolved. Thanks for watching.

In the 23 years I’ve been in this game I’ve never seen so much lead pipe work on the domestic water system and I’ve worked in a lot of grade 1 and 2 listed properties here in Northumberland and not seen that much lead good job getting rid of it out of the house 👍

How come people do not understand that if you were to reduce your quote 'for the best price' then you were over charging in the first place. Tidy job, time consuming and stressful with possible issues along the way, any more old stuff gratefully received. cheers.

Lots of houses etc in Jockoland had only Lead on the cold supplies, the hot was done later & was often heavy copper pipe with screwed & soldered joints. Serving my time in the early 70’s we did Ball joints on Lead pipe, no suck thing as Leadloc fitting back then Doc👍 Well, give my regards to your good lady, tell her I’ll see her down Asda Carpark on Friday as usual ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How harmful do you think the lead is? So many houses still have it in UK. Iv heard a layer of minerals builds up on inside which stops lead getting into water.

Arcade Dad It was sold on coils, about 6Ft. Most Plumbing Shops had Hand Carts to carry it along with Tools etc. Lead Flashings are still commonly used on Roofs, it’s sold in Rolls of 3 & 6M, various girth.

Fibre Washer I’m proud to say that I can still wipe a lead joint using my moleskin wiping cloth and tallow , it’s a lost art now and most modern “ Plumbers “ wouldn’t have a clue how to do it , being a plumber back in the days of lead must have been real hard graft and really bad for your health ingesting all that lead swarth as you ate your lunchtime sandwich without being able to wash your hands properly , full respect to those old boys that did it......👍
