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.

Replace old lead pipes for safer water

<p>If you live in one of Poynton’s more characterful older properties, there is a good chance your supply pipe is still made of lead. Most homeowners we chat to are surprised to learn that lead can actually leach into their drinking water over time. Beyond the health side of things, these old pipes often get restricted by internal build-up, which is usually why your water pressure feels a bit pathetic. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping out that old metal for modern, durable MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) piping. It is a simple upgrade that makes a massive difference to both your water quality and the speed your bath fills up.</p>

Trenchless moling keeps your garden intact

<p>The biggest worry we hear is ‘are you going to have to dig up my whole garden?’ In the old days, yes, we probably would have. But things have moved on. We use trenchless moling technology, which sounds a bit fancy but is actually quite simple. We use a pneumatic ‘mole’ to tunnel underground from one small point to another. This means we can install a brand-new water main under your driveway or pristine lawn without leaving a massive trench behind. It is faster, much less messy, and often works out cheaper than traditional digging because there is less to fix once we are finished.</p>

WIAPS approved plumbers you can trust

<p>When you are working on the water supply that connects to the main network, you want to know it is being done right. We are proud to be WIAPS-approved (Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme). This isn’t just a badge for us; it means we are certified to work on private supply pipes and can self-certify that our installations meet all the current Water Supply Regulations. This makes life a lot easier when dealing with United Utilities, as we can sign off the work ourselves, speeding up the whole process and giving you total peace of mind that everything is up to code.</p>

Fast leak detection and emergency repairs

<p>A burst pipe in the middle of winter is the last thing anyone needs. Whether it is a slow leak that has been bumping up your water bill or a major burst that’s flooding the garden, we offer a rapid response across Cheshire East. We use modern leak detection tools to find the exact spot of the problem without turning your property into a building site. From simple stop tap replacements to complex water main diversions, we handle the job with as little fuss as possible. We believe in honest work and transparent pricing, so you’ll always know exactly what the job costs before we start.</p>

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.
