Period property · 1945–1980
Post-war plumbing:
modern copper, simpler work.
Post-war homes use modern copper throughout, with early plastics appearing toward the end of the period. Work is more predictable - though anything pre-1970 may still carry lead on the original incoming main.
What we typically find
- Copper throughout; generally straightforward, predictable work.
- Pre-1970 properties may still have a lead incoming supply pipe worth replacing.
- Early plastic pipework appears late in the period.
- Rarely any listed-building constraints.
