New Mills, Derbyshire

Mains replacement work

We are upgrading the local gas network in the SK22 area, replacing ageing metallic pipes to new plastic ones. These will last for a long, long time, and will see us retire older pipes that have come to the natural end of their operating life. This work is part of a big investment programme, across the UK, to build infrastructure that will keep everyone warm in their homes, but with less impact on the environment. Details of the programme in North West England can be found at https://cadentgas.com/nw3

What are we doing?

This scheme involves us upgrading around 1,800 metres of pipes in the SK22 area.

We plan to do the work in phases, starting on 22nd January 2024, and we are aiming to finish the gas pipe upgrade work by the end of May. Our plan is to insert the new pipe into the old pipe, which means less disruption and fewer excavations. It also means gas stays on, with just a short interruption for each property on the day we connect your home into the new pipes. Our on-site teams will explain how all this works and will talk you through every step.

We promise to keep you updated – our teams on-site will make regular contact with you, and we will post updates here when we move to new phases.
