Working in your area

Prestige Pipelaying JV Ltd delivers essential infrastructure upgrades across utilities including gas, water, electric, and reinstatement

Working in your area

What to expect

Our work helps keep homes and businesses connected – but may involve some short-term disruption. Here’s what to expect:

Utility equipment

Ground investigation and excavation

Before digging, we scan the area using specialist locating equipment and detailed utility drawings. This helps us identify and mark existing underground services like gas, water, electric, and telecoms. Markings are made using biodegradable spray and will fade naturally over time. We may also use internal inspection tools (such as cameras and tracing equipment) to check existing pipe or cable conditions before work starts. Larger excavations – known as connection holes or joint bays – are used to access live networks for upgrades or diversions. These are typically in the road or footpath and may remain open for a few days depending on the work involved.
Access to property

Access to properties or premises

If work requires access to a home or business – for example, to connect a new supply, replace a meter, or test internal systems – our team will notify you in advance.

Only qualified and accredited engineers will carry out internal work. All team members carry ID and relevant authorisation for the type of work being done. We’ll aim to complete all internal works promptly to limit inconvenience.

Reinstatement services

Reinstatement

Once our utility works are complete, we’ll reinstate the area as quickly as possible – often within 1 to 3 working days. We follow strict reinstatement standards to match existing surfaces and restore access to roads, footpaths, and driveways.

Materials, waste and welfare

We recycle and reuse as much excavated material as possible. Spoil and equipment are stored in secure containers placed in approved zones agreed with the local authority.

A mobile welfare unit will also be on site for our team, as required by law.

safety barriers
