My mains water feed is lead pipe and currently runs under the floor of the garage and then by a circuitous and unbeautiful route to the water meter at the back of the house. I want to change to a simpler layout so the water meter is in the garage and the house supply is fed from there
What is the best way to connect from a lead pipe which is deep in the ground to a water meter which is directly above it? Wiped leadwork is beyond my DIY skills so I will be getting someone else to do that part but I'd like to have some idea of just what the whole job involves like how big a hole needs to be dug? inspection hatch needed? specialist fittings? cost of moving the meter?
Anyone have experience of this one? Anna
