Specialists in Water Main/Service Installations and Repairs

I discovered a leak in the mains water supply just before a planned trip to Italy. I was about to cancel, when Nick and Josh came to my rescue. Josh did all the work while I was away, sent me photos of what he’d done to reassure me that he had found a way around my front steps and had saved my rose and wisteria, all at a very reasonable price. I’m 100% happy with his work and highly recommend the company.

Josh arrived as promised, the day after my call for help in laying a new lead-free water supply pipe in CB4 across a pavement and down the side of my victorian semi. His quote arrived a couple of days later and he made sure he kept me in touch with discussions with Cambridge Water and his suggestion to them of an an alternative route saved me several thousand pounds. He stuck to his quote and the work was completed exactly as planned. I haven't had such good service from a contractor for many a long year!

We had a great service from N K Bateman helping us with a water leak from a supply pipe under a driveway. The guys worked around problems, suggested best and cost effective solution and completed the work quickly. After they left, you could hardly notice there was any digging done. Five stars.

Nick and Josh replaced our lead water main in September 2023 and installed a new garden tap in the middle of our garden in 2025. They worked quickly and tidied up well so you can't tell where the holes were dug. They were polite and nice to have on site.

We were extremely pleased with the service and quality of work from N K Bateman. Josh and his team were incredibly helpful and professional. The work they carried out was excellent and nothing was too much trouble either. They were very tidy and they restored the area really well too. Highly recommended and we would certainly use them again. Definitely worth the five stars!

Thoroughly recommend - both Josh and Nick are a pleasure to deal with; friendly, professional, knowledgeable and responsive as well as very neat and tidy. Thank you so much for coming to our aid so quickly!

Very polite, good job, trustworthy hardworking people.

Cambridge Water's on-site Water Diversion Delivery Team (OnSite/ Doocey/ N K Bateman) have delivered three separate programme critical Horizontal Directional Drill installations since 20/11/2024. Additionally, they have worked outside hours to achieve key connections which enable and expedite Utilities Diversion programme, specifically at Eltisley Junction. Vital to achieving the aspirational Q2 2025 Open to Traffic Date. They are collaborative, motivated and responsible, raising awareness of programme risks and challenges well in advance of issues materialising. This allows sufficient time to plan and negate any delays / impact. The teams are professional and courteous - they perform quality work to a high standard and often go above what they are contractually obligated to do, to accommodate the dynamic nature of winter site activities. They are open and engaging and have been exemplar in both their attitudes and on-site conduct, maintaining high standards when it comes to procedural compliance (PPE Standards, HoSWA parameters, local Water Network Operation considerations, defects notifications and correction). It has been a pleasure coordinating this team on site.
