Please reach us at info@northwestwatermains.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Most jobs are usually completed in 1 day, this is thanks to our highly skilled, hard working engineers. Also as we use a mole we keep excavations to a minimum and makes us more efficient and less disruptive to the surrounding area.


It will not be switched off on the day of installation. If you have a separate supply united utilities will disconnect you when they come to connect your new supply and you will be without water until we make the final internal connection that day.

Common supply pipes are not disconnected by united utilities, we carry out a trace and dissconnection on our return visit.


Your new pipe will usually improve the flow rate ltr/min as the internal bore of the pipe is far larger than the existing. 


Yes, we offer eco-friendly utility solutions such as trenchless technology, which reduces the impact on the environment and minimizes disruption to the surrounding areas.


common problems, especially with old lead supply pipes are poor flow and pressure. This is due to small diameter pipe and corrosion restricting the flow. A new 25mm mdpe supply pipe is 9/10 the way to go.
