About KM Watermains Ltd
KM Watermains Ltd is a water mains and lead pipe replacement business based in Stalybridge, run by Kurt. The business replaces lead pipes with MDPE water mains, detects and repairs underground leaks, installs new water mains, and carries out trenchless moling to lay pipes beneath driveways and lawns. Services also include common supply pipe separation for homes and businesses.
The business covers all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan, plus the North West and Yorkshire. It also serves Leeds and Sheffield. Lead pipe replacement uses trenchless technology to install new 25mm or 32mm MDPE pipes horizontally underground, avoiding damage to driveways, patios and lawns. The installation process begins with a free site survey to assess ground conditions and plan the moling route. Two small 1m x 1m pits are dug at the boundary and near the property, and a pneumatic mole bores through the subsoil between them. The new pipe is pulled through, connected, tested for pressure, and the pits are filled in. Most residential jobs are completed within a single working day.
KM Watermains Ltd has traded for over 15 years and is WIAPS-approved and WaterSafe-registered, meaning it is fully certified to sign off water regulations installations. The business holds public liability insurance of 10 million pounds. Homeowners in the North West whose properties were built before 1970 may be eligible for a £550 grant from United Utilities, which the business manages from application through to final installation.
