Why Replace Lead Pipes?
Lead pipes were once a standard in UK plumbing systems, but they are now known to pose significant health risks, especially for children and pregnant women. If your property was built before 1970, there's a chance it still relies on outdated lead service pipes.
At Xenon Utilities, we specialise in fast, compliant, and low-disruption lead pipe replacement services — helping you protect your health and bring your property up to modern standards.
