Moling Contractor Serving East Grinstead & Sussex

What is moling?

Moling is a trenchless underground boring technique that allows us to install new pipework without digging a trench. We drive a mole — a pneumatic boring tool — underground between two small access pits, threading new pipe through as it goes. The result is a fully replaced pipe with minimal disruption to your garden, driveway or landscaping. It's faster, cleaner and far less disruptive than traditional trenching methods.

Moling — sometimes called impact moling or trenchless pipe replacement — is the modern way to install or replace underground pipes without digging an open trench.

We dig two small pits, one at each end of the run. A pneumatic piercing tool is fired horizontally through the soil between them, pulling the new MDPE pipe behind it. The result: a brand-new water main or service pipe, with your lawn, paving and landscaping left exactly as we found it.

It's the standard approach for replacing failing lead or galvanised water mains across older Sussex and Surrey properties.
