At Absolute Leak Detection Ltd, we deliver advanced, trenchless solutions tailored to modern infrastructure needs. Our directional drilling services, using the Ditch Witch JT5, offer a clean, efficient, and non-invasive alternative to traditional excavation.

Directional drilling—also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD)—is a technique for installing underground utilities without disturbing the surface. This method is ideal for areas where traditional digging is difficult or undesirable—such as roads, driveways, gardens, and built-up spaces.
