Water Mains Services in Richmond

We offer a range of solutions, from targeted leak repairs and temporary fixes to full water main replacements and new connections. Our approach depends on the location, pipe material and situation at your Richmond or London property.

Trenchless methods, like pipe lining or moling, are used when possible to avoid digging up lawns or driveways. Where excavation is needed, the area is left tidy with all reinstatement completed.

Pinpointing leaks in underground pipes can be difficult—especially if there are no obvious signs. We use a combination of acoustic listening devices, tracer gas and pipe locators to detect leaks with minimal disturbance.

Once the leak location is confirmed, targeted excavation limits damage to the property. This approach reduces time and cost, and helps protect gardens, paths and driveways in areas like Ham or Petersham.

Properties in London often share supply pipes, which can lead to low pressure or disputes over leaks. We can separate supplies, providing each property with its own new main from the boundary.

This service is particularly useful for flats or converted houses in Acton, Ealing or Hounslow, improving water pressure and helping avoid future problems with shared pipework.

Water mains bring clean water from the street into your home or building. Older properties in Richmond, Kew or Isleworth often have ageing pipework at risk of leaks, bursts or low pressure.

Hidden leaks can cause damp, subsidence or high water bills. Quick diagnosis and repair prevents damage and helps maintain a reliable water supply. Regular checks can catch small issues before they become emergencies.

Typical repairs involve isolating the leak, safely exposing the pipe and replacing damaged sections. For older, lead or corroded pipes, we recommend full replacement to current standards. This might be needed for persistent leaks, poor flow or insurance purposes.

If replacement is required, we install new MDPE pipework suitable for modern demands. Old pipework is safely removed or left redundant as appropriate.

For extensions, renovations or new builds in Richmond and surrounding areas, we install new supply pipes to current water regulations. This ensures good flow and safe, reliable drinking water supply.

The new mains are pressure tested and connected to your existing system or direct to the incoming main, depending on requirements. All work meets local authority and water company standards.

A burst main or major leak requires urgent attention to prevent water loss and property damage. Our emergency team is available 24/7 across Richmond, Fulham and beyond, with a 1-hour response target for urgent cases.

We’ll isolate the supply, make the area safe, and carry out effective repairs on all types of underground supply pipes. There’s no call-out charge for emergencies.
