Underground Utilities FAQs
I’m building an extension/annexe; can you move my existing gas or water pipes?
Absolutely. This is known as a utility diversion. We safely locate, excavate, and reroute your existing services to clear the footprint of your new build. We ensure the new pipework or cabling meets all current UK building regulations and is deep enough to be protected from future garden work or driveway traffic.
Why do I need a specialist to dig for utilities in my garden?
Many older residential properties have “unmapped” services. Digging without specialist equipment like CAT (Cable Avoidance Tool) scans or GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) puts you at risk of a “utility strike.” Severing a main power cable or high-pressure water pipe is not only dangerous but can result in massive repair bills from providers like UK Power Networks or Thames Water.
Can you install all my services (water, electric, data) in one go?
Yes, this is the most cost-effective approach for homeowners. By using a multi-utility trench, we install all your ducts (typically blue for water, black/red for electric, and green for fibre/comms) at once. This reduces the time your garden is out of use and ensures each service has the correct legal “separation distance” from the others.
What happens if you find "ghost" pipes that aren't on the official plans?
This is common in residential areas. Our team is trained to stop and hand-dig when unexpected infrastructure is found. We can often identify if a pipe is redundant or active and advise you on the best way to move forward without delaying your renovation or landscaping project.
How do I know where my new pipes are after you’ve buried them?
We provide every homeowner with a simple “As-Built” plan. This is a map of your property showing exactly where the new utilities are buried and at what depth. This is an essential document for your “Home User Guide” and is invaluable if you ever install a fence, a new driveway, or sell the property in the future.
Is your underground utilities service area limited?
We serve Surrey, London and surrounding regions — so if you’re in the South East of England and looking for underground utility services near you, we can help. Contact us today to find out.
