He's coming back next week to take out a cupboard to prove it to me
next week

I would either buy a damp tester & try to track it back, yourself, or get someone in who may have one more brain cell than the previous bloke....

That 'condensation' theory sounds very dodgy - there isn't, in my opinion, such a difference in the properties of lead versus copper pipe, that would account for the amount of water you seem to be getting. You have to have some kind of pipe, fgs
