We can remove your old lead pipework and replace it with new, plastic pipes, ensuring you have a reliable water supply with water that’s safe for you to use at any time.

You’ll have a domestic water supply you can rely on – free from the danger of lead contamination, flowing through durable pipework that’s made to last.
Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind, knowing your water supply is something you can depend on. Don’t worry about your water, contact Pipeline Services to make it right.
Using the latest trenchless technology our water mains replacement service is quick, efficient and cost effective. Using pneumatic power we can accurately bore underground channels without the need for large scale excavation and the new pipe work can be pulled through with ease. Not only does this reduce the labour and equipment costs associated with traditional trench excavation we also avoid the disturbance of driveways, gardens and patios. We simply require a small number of entry and exit pits to launch the pneumatic equipment in the ground and then boring takes place horizontally between the excavations.
Your replacement water main will run from the property boundary up to the connection inside your house. This will provide you with a continuous, seamless supply of superior durability and with none of the risk of lead contamination.
We will provide a complete service that takes you effortlessly through the installation process. Your enquiry will be handled expertly and efficiently and for those United Utilities customers’ seeking lead renewal also includes the completion of all necessary forms. Our replacement service consists of site risk assessment, installation, reinstatement and connection. Upon completion Pipeline Services will sign off the work and you will receive a WIAPS (Water Industry Approved Plumbers Scheme) Certificate.
Pipeline Services continues to be at the forefront of technology for replacement supply pipes and we are confident you will be pleased with the results.
At Pipeline Services our specialist engineers utilise the latest listening devices and leak detection equipment to accurately pinpoint leaks and efficiently locate water supply pipes so that the necessary repairs can be carried out promptly and effectively.
It is important to recognise however that certain leaks cannot be located with leak detection alone and it may be necessary to excavate. It is far more difficult for example, to identify the sound of a leak from a plastic supply pipe as opposed to the noise that emanates from metal based pipes and in some instances excavation work may be carried out to shorten the length of the pipe being investigated.
Impact moling is a growing sector of the construction and civil engineering industry and at Pipeline Services we utilise this technology to provide our customers with safe, innovative and cost effective underground solutions.
Moling is a technique in which a percussive mole device is launched from an excavation and displaces the soil to form a bore underground that the new pipe work can then be pulled through. This is a fast and efficient method of installing new pipes, saving both labour and materials, which allows us to pass this cost saving on to our customers. It significantly reduces allocated time on site compared to traditional trench excavation.
