  This is honestly one of the better DIY lead replacement videos, and I have seen a lot. Regulations followed and no shortcuts or compromises made. I also have a United Utilities supplied waste and water services.

  Very helpful video. Is there a reason you used straight reducer 22 to 15mm just before 15mm tee estate of using 22x15x15mm tee reducer, that's on 16:31 min

  united utilities have a grant for replacing lead pipes, they will pay up to £550 of the cost it takes you to replace the lead pipe with your boundaries.

  Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Stupid question: Where does the water go? Just through the waste hole and straight … ehm … outside?

• 
  @LCWDIYАй бұрын

  I have a drain just to the right of where the hole comes out so the pipes empty out there.

  Good job, but if you have to do two coats with paint tins at £9 each and want to save time, Zinzzer Bins is about £23 from Screwfix for 1 litre.

  Any water base paint will activate the surface and bubble.if you plaster over old wallpapered surfaces they will bubble because there is still a residue that you won’t be able to get rid of . You need to seal with pigmented surfaces with is oil based.

• 
  @deonhandley79202 ай бұрын

  If you don’t seal walls they will blister with any water based paint, you need to use a pigmented sealer with is solvent based

  You are all wrong that’s terrible. Gutt the room and re do , you have to piggy seal before you do anything with the wall to seal off

  Hello Lee, my lead pipe seems to be leaking in my front garden [ hopefully ] water company inspector came round and agreed to replace old lead pipe from pavement main cock to about 2 meter in front of my front door, Could you please advice me why you did not use 32mm MDPE Pipe? I need to decide to choose should I use 25mm or 32MM. Thanks. P. J. April 2024

• 
  @LCWDIY3 ай бұрын

  I used that size as it was in the information pack I had sent to me from my water supplier (united utilities).

• 
  @SuspiciousPixels11 күн бұрын

  Under the lead replacement scheme (depending on your utility provider) they will only replace like for like. So in United Utilities case it's replacing 7lb 1" lead pipes to 25mm MDPE. In the information packs United Utility send it states this. Also when I gave them a call enquiring if I could run 32mm to a 25mm pipe at the boundary end using a reducer valve they said it's not allowed and only 32mm would be considered if you have a large domicile with 5-6 bathrooms. However, If you are doing a new connection (not the lead replacement grant), I see no reason why you can't use 32mm with a 25mm reducer at the boundary so they can connect it to the common or shared water supply. 32mm MDPE is a monster size and the cost will increase when you factor in different lagging sizes, pipe liners, clips, reducer valves, 32mm Philmac (or whatever brand you prefer) stopcock to whatever size pipes are in the house conversion attachments, but if that isn't an issue and you have the space to accomodate the internal fittings then you will definitely notice a difference in flow rate and future proof yourself.

  Hi, Great video, really useful info’ for us house renovators. Can I ask what elbow you used in the 110mm ‘drain’ pipe through the wall/foundations, was it just a standard 90 degree? The reason I ask is I thought the blue water pipe was quite stiff and had a minimum bend radii that would prevent going through a tight bend?. TIA

• 
  @LCWDIY3 ай бұрын

  Hi, yes it was a standard 90 degree bend. It was a bit stiff to push though but went in ok. I pushed it through the bend without the upstand pipe on, which made it easier, then added the upstand pipe under the floor afterwards. I hope this helps.

  You could use a Blue 4" Naylor Perforated Twinwall Utility Ducting pipe. They come in 6 metre or 50 metre coils. iirc the inner diameter is 94mm but they accomodate the same 110mm rubber waste reducing end caps used in this video.

  If it's the same as mine you just turn the knob where the blade goes in. It's spring loaded so will spring back and lock the blade in when you've inserted it.

  Good video mate appreciate it, i used the wiring coming off of my old wired thermostat in my hallway which is right next to the router and bridge i had 4 wires in there which went up to the honeywell junction box in the airing cupboard i just rewired the honeywell box as i didnt see any point in having another set of wiring coming out the boiler, i bridged the old thermostat blocks in the honeywell and put the old thermostat wiring to central heating control all working good I've also left my old drayton ip722 timer in place to do the hotwater and can also use the drayton as back up for central heating encase tado servers or internet goes down so we can use manual override.

  Great Video. I have an Ideal Vogue Max combi boiler which is about 2 years old and is run via Halo thermostat set up. Would I be able to install just the Tado Smart thermostat valves and Internet bridge to some of my radiators without the need of installing the Tado hub? I have read that as long as my boiler is compatible with Opentherm and 240v, my Ideal boiler will work? Can you please advise? Thanks so much, Ian

  Many thanks for this video which I have watched many times before purchasing the Tado. I followed the Tado instructions initially which included linking the HW even though my boiler is a WB greenstar30i similar to yours in the video. My controller mounted on boiler was a RF comfort which I left in situ. On completion I had problem with the boiler not firing up and I had to revert to original installation and reset the controller. Today I removed the controller and wired up as per your video and all is working fine. When I started the install I selected the RF comfort controller and Tado said that the system wasn’t compatible but I then selected green star boiler and all went well. Can I bring your attention to the video at around 24:48 where you connect the purple link . This should be from L to CH COM but on looking closely your link is across the L and N input - surely this would blow fuses being directly across the mains ? Again many thanks for taking time to upload this video Kind regards Howard
