You will need a plumber to sort it out, he will be able to quicly identify which fitting is required as lead comes in various sizes (weights)

Hi there Please don't attempt to repair your self, some plumbers can do a repair to the pipe with solder others will cut out the leak and replace with a fitting, but its a job for a tradesman Hope all goes well Iain

Alex Peters

Tut Tut Ian! we are no longer allowed to do lead repairs under the water bylaws so it will have to be cut a section and replace
