Old lead, galvanised steel, or corroded copper pipework is one of those problems that tends to stay hidden until it causes a real issue, whether that’s persistent low water pressure, recurring leaks, or discoloured water coming through the taps. By the time the symptoms are obvious, the pipework underneath is usually well past the point where a patch repair makes sense.
Core Rock Ltd carries out full replumbing across all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester, with all work completed by our own Gas Safe registered engineers. We do not subcontract. The same directly employed plumbing team that surveys your property is the team that completes the work.
Many of Greater Manchester’s older properties, particularly Victorian and Edwardian homes, still have sections of original pipework that are decades beyond their intended lifespan. We replace this with modern, reliable plumbing, while keeping disruption to your home as limited as practically possible.
Â
A complete replacement of all pipework throughout the property, including supply to kitchens, bathrooms, and any other wet areas, suited to older properties with widespread ageing pipework.
Targeted replacement of pipework serving a specific area, such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation, where the rest of the property's plumbing is in reasonable condition.
Identification and removal of any remaining lead pipework, which can affect water quality and is common in pre-1970s properties across Greater Manchester.
Replumbing connected to a new boiler installation or central heating upgrade, ensuring the whole system works together safely and efficiently.
Replacing older gravity-fed or tank-based systems with modern, more efficient hot and cold water supply systems, often improving pressure and reliability throughout the property.
Replacement of deteriorating waste and drainage pipework, addressing issues such as leaks, blockages, and poor flow that often accompany ageing supply pipework.

Costs depend on the size of the property and ease of access to existing pipework. A full replumb on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached property generally ranges from £3,000 to £6,000. We provide a detailed, itemised quote following a free plumbing survey.
Most full replumbs take between four and eight days, depending on the size of the property and how the work is phased. We provide a clear timeframe as part of your written quote.
There will be periods without water in certain areas while work is carried out there, but we plan the job to minimise this and keep at least one water source available wherever practically possible.
Common signs include low or inconsistent water pressure, discoloured water, recurring leaks, and visible old pipework such as lead or galvanised steel. If your property hasn’t been replumbed in the last 25 to 30 years, it’s worth having it assessed.
Some disturbance to walls and floors is unavoidable, particularly around fittings and where new pipe runs are needed, but we keep this to a minimum and carry out making good as part of the job. Full redecoration isn’t typically included but can be arranged separately if needed.
