FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a borehole cost?

As a guide, a 60-metre water borehole drilled into gritstone formations, such as those found in Calderdale and parts of Derbyshire, typically costs between £10,000 and £15,000. This usually includes drilling, borehole pump installation, controls and connection pipework.

What is included in the drilling cost?

A quotation will normally include:

  • Mobilisation of the drilling rig
  • Labour
  • Borehole liners and casings
  • Grouting materials
  • Ancillary borehole equipment
  • Support vehicles
  • Borehole pump installation

Costs can vary depending on site access, geology and borehole depth.

Does a borehole need a licence?

In many cases, no licence is required. A borehole can typically provide up to 20,000 litres of water per day without the need for an abstraction licence. If greater volumes are required, we can advise on the relevant regulations.

How much does it cost to run a borehole?

Annual running costs are usually between £50 and £600 per year, depending on water usage, pumping requirements and any treatment equipment installed.

Is the water tested?

Yes. During the drilling process, a basic water test is carried out to assess the quality of the supply. Where necessary, additional laboratory testing can be undertaken to provide a more detailed analysis.

Can a borehole save money?

For properties with high water consumption, a borehole can provide significant savings compared with mains water. For example, where water usage is around 20,000 litres per day, annual savings can exceed £7,000, allowing the installation cost to be recovered over time.
