As a minimum we would recommend that all newly installed wells have a full water analysis report done before the well is put into use to determine if any filtration is required and the type, as a minimum a bacteria test should then be done yearly. The report can be commissioned by us on your […]

As with all ground works there can be a mess, however Teckna Group try to minimise mess and disruption to your garden or premises by utilising specialised drilling and seperation equipment.

Anyone can abstract and use 20cubic metres (20,000litres, 4400gallons) per day with no licence required. If you require more than this then a licence will be required from the Environment Agency. On completion of any well over 15m the BGS should be provided with the information on the borehole drilling, water levels, etc and we […]

Wells can be sited practically anywhere a drilling rig can be placed, however there are some equally important places that they should not be placed to avoid contamination of the borehole water. Preferably wells should be upslope of any potential sources of pollution – septic tanks, fuel tanks, soakaways, grazing areas or anywhere that low […]
