Increased Water Pressure
Say goodbye to trickling showers when your neighbour runs a bath. An independent 25mm or 32mm MDPE pipe ensures maximum flow directly to your modern combi-boiler.
Fully Compliant
Every installation we perform strictly adheres to the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, ensuring your property passes any future surveys or valuations.
Stop Shared Leaks
When you share a common supply pipe, determining who pays for a leak repair is a nightmare. An independent supply ends neighbourly disputes forever.

Water Main Installation FAQs
Common questions about upgrading, replacing, or separating your water supply.
How much does a new water mains installation cost in Manchester?
The cost of a water supply pipe installation depends on the distance from the boundary stop tap to your property. However, standard trenchless moling installations are highly cost-effective because they eliminate expensive excavation and surface repair costs. We will beat any like-for-like quote.
Can you separate a shared water supply?
Yes, separating common supply pipes is one of our most requested services in Manchester. Sharing a pipe with neighbours often causes severe drops in water pressure. We install a brand new, independent MDPE water main directly to your property to permanently fix pressure issues.
What is a water mains diversion?
A water mains diversion involves rerouting your existing underground water supply pipe. This is typically required if you are building an extension, a new driveway, or if the current pipe runs directly beneath a planned structure.
Are your installations fully compliant with water regulations?
Yes. Because our engineers are fully WIAPS (Water Industry Approved Plumbers Scheme) and WaterSafe registered, you can be confident that every new water supply pipe we lay strictly adheres to UK Water Regulations.
Will installing a new water pipe destroy my garden or driveway?
No. We utilise trenchless moling technology. This allows us to bore a hole underground and pull the new pipe through without digging long, destructive trenches across your lawns, patios, or block paving.
Can you replace my old lead pipes at the same time?
Yes! If you are getting a new water main installed, it is the perfect time to replace your toxic old lead pipes with safe MDPE piping. Plus, if your property was built before 1970, we can help you claim a £550 grant from United Utilities to offset the costs.
Do I need planning permission for a new water main?
Typically, you do not need planning permission to replace or install a new water supply pipe on your own private property. Because our engineers are WaterSafe registered, we handle all compliance and ensure the work meets UK Water Regulations standards.
What areas around Greater Manchester do you cover?
Our engineers provide fast, expert water main installations across the entire Greater Manchester and North West region, including Stockport, Tameside, Salford, Trafford, Oldham, and Bury.
£550 United Utilities Grant
Are you upgrading to replace old lead pipes?
If you are installing a new water main to replace toxic, old lead pipes, and your property was built before 1970, you are likely eligible for a £550 grant from United Utilities to help cover the cost.
We make it effortless. JKM Watermains Ltd handles the entire grant application on your behalf—from initial paperwork to the final WIAPS sign-off.
