Martin Lockyear Contracting Ltd Launches New Utilities Company and Acquires Leak Detective Bedfordshire Franchise

Martin Lockyear Contracting Ltd is pleased to announce the establishment of a new sister company, Martin Lockyear Utilities Ltd, marking a strategic and natural progression into the utilities and leak detection industry. As part of this expansion, the company has acquired the Leak Detective franchise for the Bedfordshire region and will trade as Leak Detective Bedfordshire.

Building on years of expertise in civil engineering and groundwork, this move represents an easy transition into complementary services such as leak detection, water supply pipe repairs, and infrastructure support. The new business will serve Bedfordshire and large parts of Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Cambridgeshire, strengthening the group’s capability to deliver fully managed water and utility solutions.

“Expanding into the utilities sector through Martin Lockyear Utilities Ltd and partnering with the Leak Detective network is a natural step for us,” said Martin Lockyear, Managing Director. “Our background in civil engineering and groundworks has given us the technical experience, equipment knowledge, and client relationships needed to move seamlessly into leak detection and water infrastructure services.”

As Leak Detective Bedfordshire, the new division will provide a range of professional services including:

• Acoustic and thermal imaging leak detection

• Water supply pipe repairs and replacements

• Utility tracing and mapping

The expansion enhances the Martin Lockyear group’s position as a comprehensive service provider across the civil engineering and water utilities sectors, combining proven operational expertise with advanced leak detection technology.
