Water Main Replacement with Minimal Disruption

Thanks to our moling technology, we can replace your water main without digging up your driveway, garden, or patio. This advanced technique allows us to carry out underground pipework with minimal surface disruption, saving you time, stress, and thousands of pounds in reinstatement costs.

Water Main Repair & Leak Diagnosis

Not sure where the leak is coming from? We use state-of-the-art equipment to locate and diagnose water main issues quickly and accurately. Whether it’s a small underground leak or a full pipe collapse, we provide fast and effective solutions with long-lasting results.

Moling: A Less Disruptive, Cost-Effective Alternative

Moling—also known as trenchless digging—is a modern, non-invasive method for underground pipe installation and repair. It works by using a compressed air-driven machine (“mole”) to create a pathway for pipes beneath the surface, requiring only small entry and exit holes spaced about 10 metres apart.

This method eliminates the need for messy open trenches, making it the ideal solution for properties in urban or landscaped areas. Moling offers:

  • Lower costs (no reinstatement of tarmac or paving)
  • Faster installation times
  • Minimal disturbance to your property and routine
  • Reduced health & safety risks

Reasons to Replace or Upgrade Your Water Main

  1. Old or Lead Pipes
    • Homes built before the 1970s may have lead or galvanised steel pipes, which can deteriorate or pose health risks.
  2. Low Water Pressure
    • Restricted or undersized pipes can’t meet modern demand, especially if you’ve added bathrooms, a combi boiler, or high-pressure appliances.
  3. Leaks or Bursts
    • Frequent repairs on your private supply pipe may signal it’s time for a full replacement, which can be more cost-effective long term.
  4. Home Improvements
    • Building extensions, loft conversions, or adding a new kitchen or bathroom may require a larger or upgraded pipe for proper flow.
  5. Water Quality Issues
    • Discoloured, metallic-tasting, or contaminated water can indicate corroded or degraded internal pipe surfaces.
  6. Compliance with Regulations
    • UK Building Regulations or your local water authority may require upgrades if your system is out-of-date or during certain renovation work.
  7. Environmental or External Damage
    • Ground movement, freezing temperatures, or tree roots can damage older underground pipes and lead to leaks or bursts.
  8. Water Supplier Network Changes
    • If the water company upgrades its infrastructure, you may be encouraged or required to upgrade your connection to ensure compatibility.
  9. Lead Replacement Incentives
    • Some UK water companies offer grants or part-funded schemes to help homeowners replace old lead pipes with safer materials.
