Frequently Asked Questions

Your guide to borehole drilling, water filtration systems, off-grid water supply and more. These answers cover what you need to know before putting a private water supply on your property.

Yes, almost anyone can install a water borehole, provided the local geology is suitable for drilling.

Yes, we have successfully installed water borehole systems in town locations. Each site, however, is reviewed individually to ensure suitability.

If you use around 20 cubic metres of water per day, you could save over £11,000 annually by switching to a borehole supply.

At the surface, most boreholes are capped with a 600x600mm GRP box, keeping the well head secure and unobtrusive.

We analyse geological data and review nearby boreholes to assess water presence. In some cases, we may consult a specialist water dowser for additional guidance.

Usually, but not always. After installation, we conduct water tests to check for contaminants. If needed, we provide and install filtration systems to ensure the water is safe for consumption.

Generally, no licence is needed for extraction up to 20,000 litres per day. For higher volumes, an abstraction licence from the Environment Agency is required.

Drilling depth depends on the site’s geology and can range from 10 to 350 metres.

After installation, we offer an optional maintenance contract to keep your borehole system in optimal condition and provide peace of mind.

Yes, we can drill in your garden as long as we have access for our equipment. Our smallest rig requires an entry gap of only 1.5 metres and about the equivalent space of six car parking spaces to operate.

Drilling does produce some debris, but we use effective methods to minimise disruption and clean up the site as much as possible.

The required depth depends on the site’s geological conditions, typically ranging from 10 to 300 metres. For specific depth needs, please contact our team for a consultation.

Our compact drilling rigs can fit through gaps as narrow as 5 feet and require roughly the area of six car parking spaces to complete the work efficiently.

Yes, we recommend an annual service for all systems to maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Costs vary based on the system type and the level of filtration required. We’re happy to discuss tailored service plans that suit your specific needs.

Yes, we provide servicing across Hampshire, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, and Kent.

In most cases, yes. We would conduct an assessment of your existing system to determine compatibility with our servicing options.
