Services

Water mains, from the boundary to the house.

Everything we do is on the supply pipe: the length of pipe between the water company’s side at the boundary and the stop tap inside your house. Finding leaks on it, fixing them, and replacing it when it has had its day.

Not sure which of these you need? Ring and describe it. That is usually the quickest way to find out.
