Specialising in repairing existing water pipes and installing new water supply systems between the external stop valve and the internal stopcock, we have many years of experience to deliver efficient and reliable solutions for your water mains needs.

Impact Moling: The Revolutionary Technique

At Pipeline Services, we use the latest technique in moling for our water supply pipe installations. This involves mowing through the soil with a pneumatic cylinder in a straight line from one pit to another. It offers many advantages:

Minimal Disruption

Fewer excavations in your concrete, tarmacadam or flagged driveway to make good on completion.

Faster Completion

Installing a water pipe by impact moling means less disruption to the surrounding area and faster completion times than traditional trenching methods.

Cost Efficiency Through Moling

When moling is possible due to favourable ground conditions, your new water supply pipe can be installed at your property for a reduced cost compared to traditional trench excavation to make the connection to the water main, which is the water company’s responsibility.

Transparent Pricing for Your Peace of Mind

One of the questions we get asked most by our customers is the cost per metre for our moling services to install a new water main. The cost per metre using the trenchless method of impact moling to install a water supply pipe varies depending on:

  • Length of pipe to be installed
  • Distance between the launch pit and the receiving pit
  • Ground conditions and types
  • Water main installation project complexity

But rest assured, our pricing for a new water pipe is competitive and transparent, so you get great value for your money.

Moling Cost per Metre UKHow does moling work?

Moling in plumbing is an advanced trenchless method specifically designed for the installation of water supply pipes and gas pipes. Our engineers use specialist pneumatic impact moles. These powerful devices, operated with compressed air, are launched from minor excavation points and push through the ground, even in difficult ground conditions, and create smooth bore holes in the desired direction.

The new small diameter pipes are then carefully pulled through these bore holes, with no need for extensive trenching and minimal disruption to your property. This process ensures the pipe is installed in a straight line and is ideal for connecting to the water main pipe.

IS THERE A GRANT AVAILABLE FOR REPLACING YOUR WATER SUPPLY PIPE?Can I get a grant to replace lead pipes?

Many water companies across the UK have programmes in place to help customers replace lead pipes in their homes. If you’re interested in replacing a supply pipe, we’d be happy to help. Get in touch with us, and we’ll let you know about any grants or financial assistance that are available to you now.

Alternatively, you can contact your local water company to find out about the grants, loans or assistance programmes they have available.

Benefits of a new water supply pipe

There are many benefits to installing a new water supply pipe:

  1. Better water quality: Over time, the old pipes can corrode or become contaminated, affecting the water flowing through them. A new pipe means cleaner and safer water for drinking and everyday use.
  2. Improved water pressure: Old and deteriorating pipes can restrict water flow, resulting in low water pressure in your home. A new supply pipe can help improve water pressure so you have enough flow for showering, washing dishes and doing laundry.
  3. Reduced risk of leaks and bursts: Old pipes are more prone to leaking, cracking and bursting, which can cause water damage to your property and costly repairs. By replacing old pipes with new ones, you can reduce the risk of a sudden leak.
  4. Flexibility to different pipe sizes: Installing a new water supply pipe means you can adapt to different pipe sizes so that you can customise and optimise your plumbing system for your household’s needs.
  5. Long-term cost savings: While the initial cost of installing a new water supply pipe is an investment, it can lead to long-term cost savings by reducing the need for frequent repairs, minimising water wastage from leaks, and potentially increasing the efficiency of your overall water system.

Overall, installing a new water supply pipe can improve water quality, pressure and reliability so you have a safer, more efficient and cost-effective water supply system for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Impact Moling Costs

What factors influence the moling cost per metre in the UK?
The cost per metre in the UK depends on several factors, including the length of the pipe to be installed, the distance between the launch and reception pits, the ground types and conditions, and the overall complexity of the water main installation project.

Is moling a cost-effective option compared to traditional trenching?
Yes, moling is generally more cost-effective than traditional trenching because it requires fewer excavations, causes less disruption to your property, and often results in faster completion times, which reduces labour costs and site reinstatement expenses.
