FAQs
Water Main Repair in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide water main repair across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
How do I know if the problem is my water main or something inside the house?
We start by testing pressure at different points and checking internal valves and fittings. If nothing internal explains it, we investigate the supply pipe itself, including checking for signs of a leak along its route.
Who is responsible for the pipe between the street and my house?
The section from the water authority's main up to your property boundary (the communication pipe) is generally the water authority's responsibility; from the boundary into the property (the supply pipe) is the homeowner's responsibility.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
