Waterwells Borehole

• Your own private water supply from your land. We drill to a depth below the ground water level up to 200m, insert a well casing (to stop the walls collapsing), install a pump (to raise the water to ground level), fit with a cover to protect the ground water supply from pollution.
• Water boreholes are different to gshp boreholes (geothermal boreholes) when installing closed loop systems.

Will I need permission?

Provided less than 20,000 litres of water per day is used (almost as much as a milk tanker holds) a licence is not required for water well boreholes. Using more than this volume would require consent from the Environmental Agency, we can assist with obtaining a licence should one be required.

Note: Some areas do not have accessible ground water. Therefore not everyone can have a borehole for water wells. We are happy to assess the location and give you free advice and an estimate. An experienced borehole drilling company such as Nicholls Boreholes can help you with this. We cover a large area of the South East, including West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, London, Berkshire and also other areas of the UK. 

We notify the British Geological Survey of our intent to drill a waterwell and on completion we send a completed borehole record.
