Edinburgh, the Lothians & Fife
If your building is older than the 1970s, there's a real chance water still reaches your taps through the same lead pipe that was there a century ago. We identify it, explain the options honestly — no scare tactics, no upsell — and replace it with safe, modern pipework with minimum disruption.
What's included
Lead pipework was standard in Scottish tenement and period-property plumbing for decades, and a lot of it is still in service. It's not always an emergency, but degrading lead supply pipes are worth dealing with properly rather than patching repeatedly.
We've handled exactly this kind of job before — including a shared mains pipe serving several flats in a tenement close, where the priority was clear communication with everyone affected and getting the water back on quickly.
How it works
Tell us what’s happening. Most jobs get a straight answer and a fair price on the first call.
On time, shoe covers on, problem found and explained in plain English — with the price agreed before work starts.
The job finished right, mess cleared away, and the same plumber reachable long after.
Reviews
“I'm a landlord with several properties and have been using Kevin from Dunedin Plumbing for a couple of years now. He's an exceptionally good plumber — reliable, turns up on time, doesn't overcharge, and always leaves the property clean and tidy. It's nice having someone you can trust to get the job done properly.”
“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.”

Questions
If your property was built before the 1970s and nothing's been upgraded since, there's a good chance at least part of the supply is lead. We check on-site and tell you honestly — you won't be sold a replacement you don't need.
Sometimes, briefly — especially on shared tenement supplies. We coordinate with any neighbours affected in advance and keep the water-off time as short as possible.
It depends on how much pipework needs replacing and how accessible it is. We'll give you a clear price before any work starts.
