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 those old lead pipes for a modern upgrade

Many of the older houses around Partington still rely on original lead pipes. While they've done their job for decades, lead isn't exactly what you want in your morning brew these days. Over time, these pipes thin out and start to leak, often causing damp patches or low pressure. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping that old grey metal for modern, high-quality MDPE piping. It's a simple change that makes a world of difference. Not only is it much better for your family's health, but most of our customers tell us they notice a fantastic boost in their water pressure too.

New pipes installed without ruining your garden

One of the biggest worries we hear from homeowners is the fear of their lovely garden or expensive driveway being dug up. We get it—nobody wants a giant trench through their flowerbeds. That’s why we use trenchless technology, often called moling. Imagine a clever pneumatic tool that pulses its way underground, creating a path for your new water main without disturbing the surface. It’s fast, efficient, and keeps the mess to an absolute minimum. Why put up with a building site in your front garden when you can have a 'no-dig' solution that leaves everything exactly as we found it?

Fast action for burst pipes and hidden leaks

There's nothing quite as stressful as the sound of rushing water where it shouldn't be. A burst pipe is a genuine emergency, and we treat it like one. If you’ve spotted a drop in pressure or a suspiciously lush green patch of grass during a dry spell, you might have a hidden leak. Our team uses the latest leak detection tools to find the exact spot of the trouble without any guesswork. Once we've found it, we get straight to work on the repair, saving you from a massive water bill and preventing potential structural damage to your Trafford property.

Trusted WIAPS plumbers who handle the paperwork

We aren't just handy with a wrench; we’re fully WIAPS approved. For you, this means we’re recognised by United Utilities as qualified experts who know the water regulations inside and out. It actually makes your life a lot easier because we can self-certify our work. Instead of you having to wait around for a water board inspector to turn up and tick boxes, we can get your new supply connected and signed off much faster. It's all about providing that extra peace of mind that the job’s been done properly and legally from start to finish.

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.
