Grange PlumbingPlumbing Services in Dorking
Whether it's a repair, a moling job or a planned bathroom renovation, Grange Plumbing covers Dorking and the surrounding Surrey area.
Moling in Dorking
Many properties in Dorking still have old lead or galvanised water mains running under the front garden, driveway or path. Replacing them with traditional trenching means weeks of disruption and a hefty reinstatement bill for paving or turf.
With moling, we replace the supply pipe in a single day — no trench, no torn-up driveway. It's the standard approach we use for water main replacements across Dorking and the wider Surrey area.

What plumbing work in Dorking actually involves
Housing stock and why supply pipes fail in Dorking
Dorking has a high concentration of period property — Victorian and Edwardian houses in Deepdene and Pixham, plus stone and flint cottages in the surrounding villages. A great many of these still have their original lead supply, and because they sit in conservation areas the reinstatement of a trenched drive or path is both costly and closely scrutinised. Trenchless replacement avoids the problem entirely.
Ground conditions across RH4 & RH5
Dorking lies on greensand and chalk at the foot of Box Hill, with clay in the vale to the south. Greensand moles well. Chalk and flint bands need a survey first, and on some runs a shallow narrow excavation is genuinely the better and cheaper answer — we will tell you when that is the case.
Access, driveways and reinstatement
Village properties around Westcott, Brockham and Betchworth often have long driveways with a meter set well back from the house. Runs of 25 to 40 metres are routine here, and moling them in a day is normal.
Water supplier and postcodes we cover
Dorking and the surrounding Surrey villages are supplied by SES Water, and the properties we work on are mainly in the RH4 & RH5 postcode area. Your water supplier is responsible for the main in the road and the communication pipe up to the boundary stop tap; the supply pipe from the boundary into your home is the homeowner's responsibility, and that is the section we replace, repair and leak-locate.
Streets and neighbourhoods we regularly work in around Dorking include North Holmwood, South Holmwood, Westcott, Brockham, Betchworth, Mickleham, Pixham and Deepdene. If you are just outside these, it is still worth calling — most of Surrey is within our normal working radius and there is no charge for a quote.
