United Utilities & Thames Water

Here is Bill or maybe Shane doing what Thames Water asked them to do, which was to conect my blue pipe. -  this they did to the existing 18mm copper - unfortunately no-one apparently told them that I had asked to connect it to the meter -
(In fact thames water charged my the £500  because they told me that they were charged that by the local council because they made a whole in the footpath ., So just as well I was there -

To their credit Once I explained what I wanted
  they quickly went to work digging up the footpath and connecting my pipe into the meter; they put in a right angle bend to take the pipe down to the prepared trench
Below you see the dug up foot path and the connecting  blue poly pipe to the meter

On the right  you see the tarmac machine used to compact
the tarmac and below the finished job
Finally they filled the whole and made a nice neat job of compacting the tarmac
This means that finally all the work for the utilities was completed Bob(Craft Paving) dropped round to have a look at what had been done and let me know that the foundation work would start on Friday.
Now we are down to just two local tradesperson Bob from Craft Paving and the Electrician to help wire the lights
