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.

Upgrade old lead pipes for cleaner water and better pressure

If your home still relies on old lead piping, you're likely dealing with more than just poor water pressure. Lead is a health concern that most of our neighbours in Stockport are keen to get rid of. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping out that dated, narrow lead for modern MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) piping. It’s not just about health, though—the difference in your shower pressure can be life-changing! We’ve helped countless families across Marple and Ludworth make the switch, ensuring their drinking water is as safe as it can be.

New water mains installed with zero mess using moling technology

The biggest worry for most homeowners is the thought of a mini-digger churning up their pristine lawn or expensive block-paving. We’ve got good news: those days are mostly gone. We use 'trenchless moling' technology, which sounds fancy, but essentially means we use a pneumatic tool to punch a hole underground from one small point to another. It’s like a mole burrowing through the soil. This allows us to install your new MDPE supply pipe with minimal disruption. You won't have to look at a messy trench for weeks, and your garden stays looking exactly how you left it.

Find and fix hidden leaks before they cause real damage

A leaking water main is a bit like a ticking time bomb. Sometimes it’s obvious—a fountain in the middle of the garden—but often it’s a slow creep that only shows up when United Utilities sends you a massive bill. Our team uses professional leak detection to pinpoint exactly where the problem lies, saving you time and money on unnecessary digging. Whether it's a small crack or a major burst pipe repair, we act fast to stop the waste and protect your property’s foundations. If you’ve noticed a drop in pressure or a damp patch that won't go away, give us a shout before it turns into a bigger headache.

Trust our WIAPS-approved engineers to handle the red tape

One of the best things about working with us is our WIAPS (Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme) certification. Why does that matter to you? Well, it means we’re recognised by United Utilities as qualified experts. We can self-certify our work, which often speeds up the entire process and cuts out the need for external inspections. It’s a bit like having a fast-pass for your water connection. We handle the technical bits and the paperwork, so you can just get back to your day. It’s just one of the ways we try to make life a little easier for our customers in Marple and the surrounding Cheshire villages.

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.
