Lead Pipe Replacement in Leith
Lead Pipe Replacement for Leith’s tenement flats
From the Shore and Constitution Street to the newer flats around Western Harbour, Leith mixes 19th-century tenements and converted bonded warehouses with modern waterfront developments.
Tenements built before the 1970s often still have lead on the rising main or the supply into each flat. Replacing it usually means coordinating with neighbours — which we do for you.
Newer homes rarely have lead, but older properties nearby often do. If yours is pre-1970s, it’s worth a check.

“My downstairs neighbour complained that water was coming through their bedroom ceiling at 6pm. Kevin attended within 2 hours, investigated, and traced the leak back to my neighbour's own water tank — isolating the issue so they had time to contact their landlord. A great, reliable plumber, even if his jokes are mince.”
