CONSTRUCTION AND CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Sherborne Utilities are a Self Lay Organisation (SLO). We are experts in the installation of large water and sewage systems. This means that we can install water mains to the exact standards required for local authority adoption. It’s this distinct skill that allows for us to work on larger civil and private projects.
Our close attention to detail in keeping to specification means that we can reduce the risks to you. Sherborne will make sure that your water mains and service pipes are installed correctly the first time, with no added problems or charges.
We can handle the installation, pressure testing, and chlorination of pipes up to 600mm in diameter. We work with a vast range of pipes, made from many different materials. Sherborne Utilities can also install sewage pumping mains, rising mains, pumping stations, and water treatment plants if need be. We already have experience working with a number of Blue Chip clients in the South West of England. Sherborne is also a qualified member of WIAPS, ensuring that our plumbing meets nationally recognised standards of excellence.
We’ll also handle the paperwork. Sherborne’s in-house knowledge of UK water regulations allows for us to make each project as smooth as possible. Our vast experience with local water company and inspector liaison makes sure that your project with us will fit neatly into the local system, as well.
Our engineers will work closely with site foremen, supervisors, quantity surveyors, and estimators to get the best possible results out of your project brief.

Our engineers can also undertake minor civil engineering works. We can arrange the installation of drains, manholes, and inspection chambers. We are up to date on water regulations and current legislation. Any system that we install for you will be fully compliant with current UK water regulations.

WATER AND SEWAGE FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Sherborne Utilities have a strong background when it comes to delivering public sector projects. We have helped trusts, foundation trusts, hospitals, and smaller health centres. As well as installation, we have conducted routine maintenance, repairs, and major capital projects for clients.
Sherborne has handled a range of assets, in domestic, office, and large scale public amenity settings. As with our educational water and sewage projects, we’ll install easy to repair, maintain, and refurbish systems that will keep running all year round if need be. All of our systems can isolate faulty sections, keeping mission critical infrastructure running during peak periods. We can regularly monitor and service your system assets, reducing the risk of failure at a critical point.
If you administer a public building our Energy Managers can also help you with resource management. They’ll tell you the best ways to reduce your water consumption and save money on your water bills. We can identify the most cost-effective changes to your distribution system. Return on investment may mean that these changes pay for themselves.
Sherborne Utilities could also reduce your costs by using our equipment to quickly locate and repair expensive hidden leaks. Replacing faulty stop valves and sections of underground piping to save money are also two of our specialities.
