How do I know if I need water pipe replacement rather than a repair?

If the pipe has repeated leaks, poor pressure, visible ageing or lead sections, replacement is often the better long-term option. We can assess the condition of the line and advise on the most sensible next step.

Will replacing an underground water pipe mean major digging?

Not always. We use trenchless moling where suitable, which can reduce surface disruption compared with traditional excavation.

Can you replace lead water supply pipes?

Yes. We carry out lead renewal work and can replace older lead supply pipes with modern alternatives that better suit current use.
