Services Mapping...

[Mulberry View]

Our plot is at the end of a small shared driveway. It's about 60m until you get to our plot and it is shared with 3 other houses (one of which we own).

 

The driveway is old and in dire need of resurfacing, something we'll do once we finish our build, but for now we need to run a water pipe from the highway to our plot. All 3 existing properties are on mains gas, mains water and 2 of them have mains sewage and underground telephone cables. I know you can get a detector that'll find power, but is there any way to locate the gas and water pipes without digging?

 

Or should I just contract this work and let it be someone elses problem?

Did they do any local ground-level searching (GPR?) or was that all off utility company plans?

 

I've got the local Gas and Water company plans and they're next-to-useless, I'd already reached the assumption of the information they provided long ago.

If you want accurate mapping you need a service locator company, they will come out with plans and do a ground detection mapping, draw lots of lines on the ground and then send you a big invoice. I used to pay £250-300 but that was in 2006.

Get a moling company in to run the pipe, not your problem then.
