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.

New pipes without ruining your driveway

Imagine the dread of knowing you need a new water main, only to picture your expensive block-paving or manicured lawn being ripped up to make a mess. We don't think that's necessary. That’s why we’re big fans of trenchless technology, often called 'moling'. It's a clever bit of kit that lets us install a brand-new MDPE pipe by simply creating a couple of small entry and exit holes. The 'mole' pulses through the ground underground, leaving your garden intact. It’s faster, cleaner, and usually works out much cheaper than the old-fashioned way of digging a massive trench from the street to your front door. Why make a mess if you don't have to?

Upgrading old lead pipes for better health

If your home was built before the 1970s, there's a fair chance your drinking water is still travelling through old lead pipes. Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that lead isn't just a health concern for the little ones—it can also be the main culprit behind that frustratingly low water pressure when you're trying to have a shower. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping out that old, furred-up metal for modern, durable blue MDPE piping. Not only does this give you peace of mind about your water quality, but it often feels like you've had a power shower installed once that old restriction is gone. We can even help you navigate any lead replacement schemes that might be running locally.

Rapid repairs for leaky or burst mains

Is there anything more stressful than a burst water main? It usually happens at the worst possible time—late on a Sunday or just as you're heading out to work. A leaking supply pipe can waste thousands of litres of water and, if left alone, can eventually start to undermine your driveway or even your house foundations. We offer a fast-response service for water main repair across Kidsgrove and the surrounding 20-mile radius. Our team uses professional leak detection kit to find the exact spot of the trouble, meaning we don't have to go digging around blindly. We’ll find it, fix it, and get your water back on before the kettle has even gone cold.

Expert help with the proper credentials

You wouldn't let an uncertified sparky mess with your fuse box, so why take a risk with your water supply? We’re proud to be WIAPS-approved engineers. This 'Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme' status is a big deal because it means we’re recognised by water authorities like United Utilities. For you, it means we can self-certify our work, which often speeds up the whole process when you're getting a new connection or a replacement pipe signed off. Plus, we're fully insured with £5 million in public liability cover. From a simple stop tap replacement to a full commercial water main diversion, you're in safe, qualified hands.

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.
