Do you still have them in your home? A colleague of mine has them and is considering getting them removed next year, some water companies will provide grants or help towards cost but it varies between water boards.

Once removed, if he's got any old socks, he could make a fortune on Ebay with the criminal fraternity.

Dam*ed near impossible to get hold of good lead piping coshes these days

Lead pipe sections are still in homes and also outside in pipes running to the path/road. Obviously, if outside, you might need a concrete breaker and certainly a spade to access them if attempting repair or replacement.
And make sure the water is turned off at the stop cock/isolated before doing anything.

I got rid of mine a few years ago. Definitely worth doing if you can swing it.
