Nicholls Boreholes and Ground Source drilling rigs typically drill from depths of 10m to over 300m and to a diameter between 100mm-400mm. As well as providing and installing geothermal borehole systems and water borehole systems, we can offer advice on renewable heating. Please see the funding section for more information.

How we work

We assess the area/location for the proposed system. We review the geology or may obtain a geological report to ascertain the viability of the project. We may also use a more traditional method and dowse for water using a water diviner. After our initial site visit, our qualified, in house design team will assess your needs, design your project and undertake all your technical calculations and drawings. We can then supply you with a no-obligation estimate including a detailed analysis of how we would manage your project. With our own staff and equipment we undertake the drilling and install all the necessary components, certify and hand over the project with a completion pack and annual service proposal. We use some of the cleanest drilling techniques available and are leaders in technological development.

Adding value

Investing in a water borehole or GSHP system can save money, reduce carbon emissions and add value to your property.
