    New Water supply to fix leaking old lead pipe.

    Posted 04 February

    Colin came out on recommendation from Northumbrian Water. Within minutes advised best course of action....within a few hours he had installed a new Water supply from the meter into the kitchen floor to bypass the old lead Water pipe. Fantastic job and a very competative rate.

    Mr Dodds was exemplary in sorting out our water leak & coming up with a solution to our previously unknown shared supply. He help us negotiate a solution with NW Authority & also with our neighbouring houses.
