Can I carry out a leak repair myself?

Yes - all the pipework within the boundary of your property is your responsibility to maintain, and you are free to carry out any repairs yourself or arrange for someone else to do the work for you.

If you find that the leak is on the water supply pipe, we may be able to repair this under the terms of our private leak repair scheme (PDF 266 KB opens in a new window).
