Do you cover all of Horley?

Yes. We cover the whole of Horley and the surrounding villages, plus the wider Mid Sussex and West Sussex area.

Will my driveway or lawn be damaged?

No. That's the whole point of moling. We dig two small access pits and the mole travels underground between them. Block paving, tarmac, lawn and patio stay in place.

How long does the job take?

Most domestic water main replacements (15–25 m) are completed in a single day, including connection at the stopcock and pressure testing.

Moling in Horley — Trenchless Pipe Replacement

Replace old lead, galvanised or leaking water mains in Horley without digging up your garden, driveway or paving.

Trenchless pipe replacement across Horley, Smallfield, Charlwood and the wider Gatwick area.

Why moling makes sense for older properties

Many homes in Horley still run on the original water supply pipe — often lead, galvanised iron or early polythene. Once these pipes start leaking or restricting flow, the textbook fix is to replace the run between your stopcock and the house. The expensive part isn't the pipe; it's the digging.

Moling solves that. A pneumatic mole is fired horizontally underground between two small pits — one at the meter, one at the property. It pulls a new 25 mm or 32 mm MDPE pipe behind it. Your driveway, lawn and patio stay in place, and the job is normally finished in a day.

We cover Horley and the surrounding area regularly, so we already know the typical ground conditions and supply layouts you're likely to have.
