Could someone offer advice on replacement of a water main.
The main is leaking under the driveway, the water company will repair for free providing the pipe is in reasonable condition. Although they won't reinstate the block paving, which seems reasonable enough. The pipe must be
60+ years old so I'd rather have it all replaced.The existing pipe is routed from the road and down the side of the house approx 20m in length. Rather than dig up the driveway I would rather it was re-routed so it entered the house under the front door and then under the suspended floor to the kitchen at the back. This would only involve digging/moling around 6m of the drive. The under floor access isn't too bad. Are there any regs/byelaws or good practice I need to be aware off, especially with the routing under the floor and thru the external wall.
Incidentally the water company want GBP350 for the 6m bit .
Thanks
