thanks for all the replies so far, been very helpful.

i have another query though, if indeed this lead pipe is not the
responsibility of the water supplier, should i replace it before
attemping to waterproof the room?

in case i sell the flat in the future, will this lead pipe make it
difficult for a buyer to get a mortgage on the flat?


regards,

Well if there is a problem having a lead watermain re mortages you won't be
alone - 10's (maybe 100's) of thousands of houses are lead supplied still.
