Water Mains Services in Reading

We provide a full range of services, from repairing minor leaks to complete water mains replacement. Our engineers use specialist detection equipment and repair methods suitable for Berkshire’s mix of property types.

Whether you own a detached house in Pangbourne or a business in Thatcham, we tailor work to suit your water supply layout and surface materials.

Our team uses listening devices, tracer gases, and pipe locators to pinpoint even hidden water leaks. This helps avoid unnecessary digging in gardens and driveways in places like Woodley or Theale.

Detection methods are selected to suit your specific pipe material and ground type, reducing both costs and inconvenience.

Shared water mains can become unreliable or undersized as properties are extended or converted. We upgrade or separate old shared supplies in blocks or terraces across Berkshire.

This ensures each home or business has a reliable, independent water source, often helping with water pressure and supply issues.

Water mains deliver fresh water from the street into your property. Any leaks or bursts can lead to water loss, property damage, and higher bills.

In Reading and the surrounding areas, older pipes are likely to corrode or split, so regular checks and rapid repairs help avoid much larger problems.

Damage is often caused by ground movement, ageing pipework, or tree roots. We can excavate or use less disruptive methods to access broken pipes, depending on the location and surface above.

When repairs are not possible, we replace sections or entire water mains, always providing a written guarantee on the work for your peace of mind.

For renovations or new builds, we install new mains connections from the boundary to the property. We manage the process, from excavation to pipe laying, ensuring compliance with local water authority requirements in Hook, Aldermaston, and surrounding areas.

All installations meet UK standards, and we complete the reinstatement of surfaces once work is finished.

Burst or leaking pipes require swift action to halt water damage. Reading Drains offers 24/7 emergency coverage every day of the year, with no call-out charge.

Our engineers serve Hungerford, Tadley, and all listed Berkshire towns, targeting a one-hour response for water mains emergencies.
