Shared Supply Upgrades
Reliable New Feeds | Improved Pressure | Clean, Certified Installation
Expert in shared supplies, locating leaks, upgrading the shared supply and installing new independent water supply lines efficiently.
Overview
A shared supply in Victorian, Edwardian, post-1930 or ex Local Authority homes can lead to reduced pressure, difficult leak tracing and joint liability for the shared supply. We install independent MDPE water supply lines using trenchless moling for minimal disturbance.
Our 3 Step Detection & Repair Process
Survey & Plan the New Route
We assess and survey your existing shared supply using high tech underground scanning equipment to locate underground utilities. This allows us to plan the safest route for your new independent water supply.
Install the New Supply
We install a new 25 mm or 32 mm MDPE pipe from your boundary to a new internal stop tap. Trenchless moling is used wherever possible to protect drives, paths and landscaped areas.
Reconnect, Reinstate & Certify
Once installed, your new water supply is pressure-tested and connected with a new internal MDPE Plasson stop valve. All disrupted surfaces are reinstated by our StreetWorks certified engineers, and a WaterSafe compliance certificate is issued on completion. All works meet UK Water Regulations.
Benefits of a Shared Supply Upgrade
Upgrading from a shared main gives you complete control over your water supply, improves flow and ensures long-term compliance.
- Improved Pressure & Flow - A dedicated MDPE water supply ine provides stronger, more reliable water pressure throughout the property.
- Your Own Stop Tap & Billing - Independent supplies give each property its own isolation point and direct billing — avoiding disputes and shared liability.
- Clean, Trenchless Installation - Most work is completed in a single day using no-dig moling, reducing excavation and protecting finished surfaces.
- Certified, Regulation-Compliant Work - All installations are completed by WaterSafe and Street Works approved engineers with full compliance paperwork provided.
Reasons to upgrade a Shared Supply
- Low pressure caused by multiple properties sharing a single main
- Cross-fed or unclear supply routes
- Older or ex-local authority housing
- Disputes or uncertainty about leak responsibility
- Adding meters, extensions or outbuildings
