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 your old lead pipes for better health

A lot of the older houses around Stoke-on-Trent, especially in areas like Burslem and Longton, still have their original lead supply pipes. While they've lasted a long time, lead isn't exactly what you want your family's drinking water running through. Beyond the health side of things, lead is prone to pinhole leaks and often limits your water pressure to a literal trickle. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping out that old, grey metal for modern, high-performance MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) blue piping. Most homeowners we speak to are amazed at the difference it makes to their morning shower. It's a straightforward upgrade that adds real value and peace of mind to your home, and we'll even help you navigate any paperwork if you're looking into local replacement schemes.

No-dig technology keeps your garden tidy

Imagine you need a new water main, but you've just spent a fortune on a new block-paved driveway or a lush green lawn. The thought of a contractor digging a massive trench right through the middle is enough to give anyone a headache. Well, you'll be glad to know we don't work like that. We use 'trenchless technology'—or moling, as we call it. Essentially, we dig two small access holes and use a pneumatic tool to 'mole' its way underground between them. It’s clever, fast, and means we can install a brand-new MDPE pipe right under your prize-winning roses or your pristine driveway without leaving a trace. Why ruin the look of your property when you don't have to?

Trust our WIAPS approved local engineers

When it comes to your water supply, you can't just hire anyone with a shovel. We are proud to be WIAPS (Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme) accredited. But what does that actually mean for you? It means United Utilities trusts us. Because we're approved, we can self-certify that our work meets all the legal UK water regulations. This usually speeds things up significantly because you won't have to wait around for a water board inspector to come and sign off our trenches or connections. We handle the technical bits and the compliance, so you can just get back to your day. It’s all about making the process as smooth as possible for you.

Fast response for burst pipe emergencies

There’s nothing quite like the panic of seeing water bubbling up through your paving stones or hearing that tell-tale hiss of a burst pipe under the floorboards. Water damage doesn't wait, and neither do we. We offer a rapid response for water main emergencies across Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas within a 20-mile radius, including Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove, and Biddulph. We'll get there fast, find the leak using professional detection equipment, and get it fixed before it causes a major headache for your property's foundations. We're honest about our pricing too—you'll get a clear quote before we start, with no nasty surprises when the job is done.

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.
