Lead Pipe Replacements
across the Southeast

At External Moling Services (EMS), we offer lead pipe replacement services for water mains across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and London. We use moling techniques to replace pipes whilst providing minimal disturbance on our property. Call our team in Ashtead to find out more.

New underground lead water supply pipes

Many older properties across the Southeast still have underground lead pipework which delivers their mains water supply. Unfortunately lead pipes can break down over time, and not only cause pipework to leak, but can also lead to small particles of lead being present in the water stream. This could affect your drinking water and the quality of water coming from your taps.

By upgrading your lead supply pipe or lead water main, you could not only potentially increase the flow and pressure of your water supply, but also improve the quality of your water and reliability of your pipework. It is the homeowner's responsibility to maintain the supply pipe which brings water into your home from the external stop valve in the pavement, but don’t worry, we are here to help! At EMS, our helpful team will discuss all your requirements and provide you with a free quote for replacing your old lead supply. We are a WIAPS approved contractor, meaning we are approved by the water companies to install new water supplies and upgrade your old lead supply; all lead pipe replacements comply with UK Water Regulations and a WIAPS certificate is issued to yourself and your water company upon completion.

Utilise our trenchless technology for replacing lead pipes

The great thing about choosing EMS as your go-to contractor for replacing underground lead pipes, is that we use impact moling and trenchless technology to dig underground. This means we dig ‘pits’ and use specialist technology to tunnel underground, enabling us to replace your lead pipes without digging up your driveway or garden.

We don’t offer lead pipe repairs, as we believe in offering long-lasting, forward-thinking solutions, and we don’t want to provide ‘quick fixes’ that won’t last in the long run.

Why not chat to us about your options for replacing your lead pipework? We are a team that specialises in water mains repairs and replacements, leaking pipe repairs, electrical cable installation, and external gas moling, as well as lead pipe replacements. Talk to our team today to see how our services can help you. We are experienced moling engineers that cover Kent, London, Sussex, and Surrey.

Testimonials

Was impressed with the services...

I had a new water pipe installed from the street to my house. The 2 guys showed up exactly on time and worked very quickly and afterward left everything in a tidy condition. Was impressed with the services and would recommend them.
