Expert Water Main Services & Lead Pipe Replacement

Trusted WIAPS-approved engineers in Macclesfield. We specialise in leak detection, burst pipe repairs, and trenchless water supply upgrades across Cheshire.

Swap out old lead pipes for clean modern MDPE

Many of the older properties around Stockport and Hazel Grove still rely on original lead supply pipes. While they've done a decent job for decades, they aren't exactly ideal for your health or your water pressure. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping that old, narrow metal for durable, high-performance MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) piping. It's a game-changer for your drinking water quality and often gives your taps a much-needed boost in pressure. If you're worried about what's lurking in your plumbing, an upgrade is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home.

Underground pipes installed without ruining your garden

The biggest worry most people have when they hear 'new water main' is the thought of a massive trench being dug right through their prize-winning petunias or expensive block-paved driveway. That's where our trenchless moling technology comes in. Instead of digging up your entire garden, we use a clever pneumatic 'mole' that pulses through the ground, creating a path for the new pipe without disturbing the surface. It's faster, cleaner, and significantly cheaper than traditional excavation. You’ll hardly even know we’ve been there, save for the better water flow you’ll enjoy afterwards.

Fast response for burst pipes and hidden leaks

A burst water main can go from a minor annoyance to a property-damaging emergency in no time at all. Whether it's a pipe that's finally given up under the weight of the road or a leak that’s been slowly eroding your foundations, we're on hand to help. We use specialist leak detection equipment to find exactly where the problem is hiding, meaning we don't have to guess and dig unnecessary holes. From Hazel Grove to Bramhall and beyond, we provide a rapid response to get your supply back on and your mind at rest.

Trust the WIAPS approved professionals

When you’re dealing with something as important as your main water supply, you want to know the job is done right. We’re proud to be WIAPS approved (Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme). This isn’t just a fancy badge; it means we’re recognised by United Utilities and can self-certify our work. This saves you a massive headache because we can sign off on new installations and connections directly, speeding up the whole process. It’s that extra layer of peace of mind knowing your water system meets all the current UK regulations.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our water main services, lead pipe replacement, and drainage solutions in Cheshire

How do I know if I have a leak in my underground water supply pipe?

+

There are a few tell-tale signs to look out for. If your water pressure has suddenly dropped, or if you can hear a constant hissing sound near where the pipe enters your house, you might have a leak. Another sign is a patch of grass that stays green even in dry weather, or paving that seems to be sinking. If you have a water meter, turn off all your taps and check if the dial is still spinning. If it is, give us a call for water leak detection.

Why should I replace lead water pipes in my Macclesfield home?

+

The main reason is health. Lead is a toxic metal that can build up in the body over time. Beyond that, lead pipes are often very old and prone to springing leaks or becoming brittle. They are also usually narrower than modern pipes, which limits the flow of water to your boiler and showers. Replacing them with MDPE piping is a great investment for your health and your home's plumbing performance.

What exactly is moling and how does it help with my water supply?

+

Moling is a "no-dig" technology. We use a pneumatically driven tool to create a path underground for your new water pipe. Instead of digging a trench through your lawn, flower beds, or driveway, we only need small pits at each end. It is much more efficient than traditional digging and saves you the cost and hassle of repairing your landscaping once the plumbing work is finished.

Do you handle Cheshire East plumbing emergencies like a burst water main?

+

Yes, we provide a rapid response for burst pipe repairs. A burst main can cause a lot of damage in a very short time, so we prioritise these calls. We have the tools and experience to locate the break and fix it, often on the same day.

Can you help if my external stop tap is stuck?

+

Definitely. External stop taps are often ignored until they are needed, which leads to them seizing up or filling with silt. As WIAPS approved plumbers, we can repair or replace broken stop taps. It is vital to have a working stop tap so you can isolate your water supply quickly if a pipe bursts inside your home.

Is it expensive to replace a water supply pipe?

+

The cost depends on the length of the pipe and the ground conditions, but we always provide a clear, fixed quote before we start. Using moling services often keeps the price down because we spend less time digging and you don't have to pay for a new driveway or patio once we're done. We focus on providing a long-term fix rather than a temporary patch, saving you money on future repairs.
