FAQs
Water Main Repair in Horley: FAQs
Do you provide water main repair across all of Horley?
Yes, we cover the RH6 postcode area in full, including Massetts, Lonsdale, Smallfield, Horley Row, Westvale Park.
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.
Does living near Gatwick Airport affect planning permission in Horley?
Some development types near the airport are subject to safeguarding consultation with the airport operator as part of the planning process. This does not apply to all projects, and we advise on the specific position for your address.
