FAQs
What are the most common signs that my main water or sewer line in Lancing needs repair?
Typical warning signs include unexplained spikes in your water bill, low water pressure throughout the house, persistent wet patches or sinkholes in the garden, gurgling sounds from drains, foul odours near fixtures, and slow-draining sinks or toilets backing up simultaneously. If you notice any of these, call us promptly—early intervention prevents larger breaks and higher costs.
How quickly can your plumbers reach my property in Lancing during a main line emergency?
Because we’re based in and around Lancing, a qualified technician is usually on site within 60–90 minutes of your call, 24/7. Our vans are stocked with diagnostic cameras, pipe locators, and repair materials so we can start work immediately after the initial assessment.
Do you provide trenchless main line repairs, and are they suitable for my home?
Yes. We offer pipe-bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. After a camera inspection we’ll confirm whether the existing pipe’s diameter, depth, and condition make trenchless viable. Approximately 80 % of Lancing properties qualify, avoiding major lawn or driveway excavation and reducing labour time by up to 40 %.
Will my water be shut off during the repair, and for how long?
For water mains we isolate the affected section at the stopcock; the average shutdown lasts 2–4 hours. Sewer main repairs rarely interrupt household water use, although we ask residents to minimise flushing and draining while we work. If a longer outage is expected, we’ll arrange temporary supply options and keep you fully informed.
What does a main line repair typically cost in Lancing, and what factors influence the price?
Simple spot repairs start around £250–£450, whereas full replacements or trenchless relining range from £1,200 to £3,500. Key cost drivers include pipe length and diameter, depth below ground, soil type, access restrictions (e.g., under driveways), chosen repair method, and any local authority permits. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after CCTV inspection so there are no surprises.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee your main line repair work?
Absolutely. All technicians hold up-to-date NVQ plumbing qualifications, Water Regulations approval, and full public liability insurance. We register any notifiable work with Building Control on your behalf and back every main line repair with a written 5-year workmanship guarantee (25 years on trenchless lining materials).
