No Outside Stop Valve, need to replace lead pipe stopcock!

Hello all,

Thames water have been useless in finding where my water supply comes in, they literally won’t turn up to help either. I have a theory I’m on a shared supply but there’s no valve for our houses if we are.

My inside stopcock is trickling through even when isolated.

Is the best method contacting a plumber to freeze it and install a new stopcock, or letting them do it live?

I want to get rid of my lead water pipe coming in but that seems like ages away. I can’t even get a new pipe installed as I don’t know where in the street my supply comes in. Thames water have dug once and couldn’t find it and haven’t done anything since. I’m at wits end as I want to do plumbing works and renovate my house!!!
