What 1986 tells you about the pipe in North Wales
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
79% of occupied homes in North Wales are owner-occupied. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
