FAQs on water mains replacement Andover
How much does it cost to replace a mains water pipe?
The cost of replacing a mains water pipe varies depending on factors like the length of the pipe, how difficult the ground conditions are, and whether the project requires specialist trenchless techniques such as moling. While prices can differ from property to property, many homeowners find that full replacements can reach into the low thousands (anywhere around £2,500 – £3,000)especially for longer runs or older properties. Repairs cost less than this. However, the best way to get an accurate figure is to request a survey, as quotes are usually tailored to your exact layout and access points.
Who is responsible for mains water pipes on my property?
Generally, you are responsible for any water supply pipes within the boundary of your property, including the pipe that runs from the stop tap inside your home to the point where it connects with the external supply. So underground pipework within your garden and driveway.
The water company is responsible for the communication pipe in the public highway and the larger water mains in the street. If the pipe is shared (common in older homes), responsibility may be split between neighbours. If you’re unsure where the boundary lies, your local water authority or your contractor can help confirm this. Feel free to give us a call on 01202393541 as we have engineers who are experts in dealing with mains water issues, local to Andover and will be able to provide expert advise.
How much does it cost to install a new water main?
Some water authorities offer a Lead Pipe Replacement Scheme or grant that helps homeowners replace old lead supply pipes—either by covering the full cost or offering a contribution. Eligibility varies by region, but grants are usually available when:
Tests show lead levels above safe limits
A child under a certain age lives in the property
The water company is already upgrading lead pipes in your street
You must apply directly through your water supplier to see if your property qualifies.
How do you repair a damaged water pipe?
Repairing a damaged water pipe depends on the severity of the issue. Minor leaks can sometimes be fixed with a localised repair, such as a clamp or partial pipe replacement. However, if the pipe is heavily corroded, cracked along a longer section, or made from outdated materials (like lead or old steel), a full replacement is often the more reliable solution. Modern trenchless methods like moling allow pipes to be replaced with minimal digging and disruption.
How do you tell if a water pipe is broken underground?
An underground water pipe won’t always show obvious signs, but your property will usually “hint” that something’s wrong. One of the most common clues is a sudden spike in your water bill, especially if your usage hasn’t changed. You might also notice areas of your garden staying soggy even in dry weather, patches of unusually healthy grass, or the sound of water running when all taps are switched off. Inside the home, reduced water pressure at sinks, showers, or appliances can also be a giveaway.
Sometimes the signs are subtle, so trust your instincts — if something feels off with your water supply, it’s worth checking. A quick professional assessment can save you from bigger issues like ground erosion, structural damage, or long-term flooding under your property. If in doubt, get it checked early
