FAQs
Water Main Repair in Guildford: FAQs
Do you provide water main repair across all of Guildford?
Yes, we cover the GU1, GU2, GU3 and GU4 postcode areas in full, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford.
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.
Are there conservation areas across Guildford?
Yes, several, including the historic town centre and parts of some residential neighbourhoods. We check the position for your specific address as part of the feasibility assessment.
