What is Lead Pipes?
Lead pipe is soft, heavy, dull grey pipe found in some older UK properties and infrastructure. Scrap lengths may carry solder, brass couplings, scale, paint, tar, or other deposits, so yards usually buy them separately from clean lead sheet. A pipe that is still connected or may form part of a water supply should be assessed and removed by a competent plumber rather than treated as casual scrap.
Tips for best price
- Confirm that pipework is redundant and that you have authority to remove and sell it.
- Remove brass valves and steel fixings, then keep cleaner lead separate from contaminated sections.
- Do not burn, melt, grind, or hot-cut lead yourself; these processes can create hazardous dust or fumes.
- Wear suitable gloves, wash your hands after handling, and keep lead away from food and children.
