Trenchless Digging

Moling is less disruptive and costs less

Moling or trenchless digging is a method of digging underground, often used in pipe repair and installations.

It removes the need to dig open trenches – helping to minimise disruption to the work site, reducing accidents caused by having large open holes in the ground. This saves time and money by using low impact moling techniques.

It involves digging small entry and exit holes, up to 10 metres apart. The steel cylinder “mole”, powered by compressed air, drills through the ground to create space for new pipes to be fitted. This method has become the preferred method and replacing open trenches for pipe installs.

What is Moling?

Moling is a trenchless method used to install or replace underground water pipes with minimal disruption to your property. Instead of digging up long trenches, we use a specialist pneumatic machine — known as a “mole” — which tunnels through the soil between two small access points. This allows us to lay new pipework without damaging driveways, lawns, patios, or paths.

For homeowners and businesses across Reading, moling is an ideal solution for:

  • Replacing old or leaking water supply pipes

  • Upgrading outdated lead or steel pipework to MDPE plastic

  • Improving water pressure and flow with larger pipe diameters

  • Connecting new builds, extensions, or outbuildings to mains supply

  • Minimising disruption to landscaped or hard-surfaced areas

Whether you’re in Caversham, Tilehurst, Woodley, Earley, or central Reading, our no-dig moling service is a fast, clean, and cost-effective way to upgrade your underground water pipes — without turning your property into a building site.
