Planning an extension or a new conservatory? Most homeowners we talk to in Wigan don't realise that United Utilities often requires a Build-Over Agreement if you're working near a public sewer. To get that sorted, your architect will need a clear picture of the lateral drains and main lines. We provide CAD-ready drawings that show everything from the invert levels (the depth from the surface) to the direction of flow. It’s about more than just satisfying the planners; it’s about making sure your new kitchen doesn’t end up sitting right on top of a collapsed pipe you didn't know existed.

You might be worried that finding a pipe means digging up your driveway or your prize roses. Honestly? It’s rarely necessary these days. We use something called a sonde—a clever little battery-powered transmitter that we pop into the drain. As it travels through, we track the radio signal from the surface. Combined with our high-def CCTV drain surveys, we can tell you exactly where a pipe turns, where it joins the main sewer, and even how deep it is. It's a 'no-dig' solution that saves your garden and your wallet. No more trial-and-error digging or 'best guesses' from a bloke with a shovel.

Buying a house is stressful enough without inheriting a drainage disaster. We’ve seen plenty of new homeowners in Wigan move in, only to find a manhole hidden under a deck or a pipe that’s been crushed by tree roots years ago. Our mapping and locating service gives you an underground blueprint of your potential new home. If there's a problem, you'll know before you sign on the dotted line. It’s the kind of peace of mind that lets you sleep a lot better in your new place. Why take the risk when you can see exactly what's going on under the lawn?
