Commercial Water Main Installation Methods

English Water applies a range of proven installation and renewal techniques, selected to suit the specific demands of each commercial project:

Open Cut Trenching

Suitable where unrestricted access is available and full water main replacement is required. Our trained teams manage excavation, installation, and reinstatement with strict adherence to safety and quality standards.

Butt Fusion and Electrofusion Welding

These welding methods produce continuous, high-strength pipe joints, improving long-term durability and performance of the installed water main.

Advanced Trenchless Installation Methods for Minimal Disruption

Directional Drilling

Ideal for congested or restricted environments, allowing new water mains to be installed beneath obstacles without surface excavation.

Pneumatic and Hydraulic Pipe Bursting

Enables replacement of existing mains with minimal ground disturbance by breaking and replacing the old pipe in situ.

Impact Moling

A low-impact solution commonly used beneath roads, pavements, and landscaped areas.

Auger Boring and Steel Pipe Ramming

Effective for installing water mains beneath existing structures, highways, or rail corridors without surface disruption.

Who fixes water problems in Shefford?

It depends on where the problem is.

Anglian Water looks after the water mains in the street, up to the boundary of your property. If a main bursts in the road, or your whole area loses water, that is their job to fix. You can call them on 03457 145 145.

The pipe that runs from the boundary into your home is called the supply pipe, and it belongs to you. If it leaks or needs replacing, the water company will not repair it. That is the work we do. We find the leak, repair it, or fit a new pipe.

The water in Shefford is classed as very hard, so the risk of limescale in kettles and boilers is high. A water filter can help — see our guide to water filters.

Anglian Water also handles wastewater and sewerage in Shefford. The drains inside your boundary are your responsibility too. We clear and repair those as well.

In Shefford, the supplier and water hardness can vary from street to street, so check your water bill if you are not sure who supplies you.

One thing worth knowing. If you have a leak repaired on your side, most water companies will take something off your bill for the water that was lost. This is called a leak allowance. We give you the report and invoice you need to claim it.

Covering SG17, SG16, SG15, SG18, SG5, MK45, SG6 and SG7.
