It is one of those 'out of sight, out of mind' problems until you realise what is actually happening underground. Lead is a heavy metal that can build up in the body over time, and it is particularly nasty for young children and expectant mums. By replacing that old lead line with a modern, blue MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe, you are giving yourself total peace of mind every time you turn on the kitchen tap. It is a simple upgrade that makes a world of difference to the safety and quality of your home's water supply.

The biggest worry we hear from folks in Stalybridge is 'Are you going to ruin my garden or driveway?' We get it—nobody wants a giant trench through their lawn. That is why we use a clever bit of kit called a pneumatic mole. Trenchless moling allows us to install your new MDPE pipes by creating a small underground tunnel without digging up your entire property. We usually only need a couple of small entry and exit pits, meaning we can get the job done quickly—often in just one day—leaving your driveway and flowerbeds exactly as we found them.

Ever noticed how the water pressure drops to a trickle if someone turns a tap on while you are in the shower? Lead pipes are often much narrower than modern ones, and over decades, they can get even more restricted with internal build-up. When we install a new 25mm or 32mm MDPE supply pipe, the difference in flow is often incredible. You will finally get the water pressure your modern boiler or power shower actually needs to work properly. It is a game-changer for busy households where everyone is trying to get ready at once in the morning.

As WIAPS-approved (Water Industry Approved Plumbers’ Scheme) contractors, we are officially recognised by the water board. Why does that matter to you? It means we can self-certify our work, which saves you a lot of faffing about with United Utilities inspections. We know exactly what the local regulations are across Tameside, and we handle the whole process from the boundary of your property right to the internal stop tap. We use WRAS-approved materials, so you know every joint and length of pipe is built to last for decades.
