Cappagh Wins WRc Accreditation — the Only Approved Drainage Contractor in UK and Europe
Two-year process culminates in industry-leading certification
Cappagh has secured coveted accreditation from the independent Water Research Centre (WRc), following an exhaustive two-year process — and at the time of certification, was the only approved contractor to hold the accreditation in the UK and Europe.
In July 2025, Cappagh Contractors Construction (London) Ltd was approved as providing drainage services that met or exceeded the industry-leading standards set out in the Drain Repair Book 4th Edition. The accreditation covers six key service areas: drain investigation; blockage clearance; condition assessment; drain serviceability; drain repair selection; and repair installation.
Dean Hansford, Trenchless Contracts Director at Cappagh, said: "It's an amazing achievement by the whole team and everyone put so much into making it happen. It's all about raising the standard and setting the benchmark for the industry to follow. We have always been at the forefront of developments and innovation, and we are incredibly passionate about the work that we do.
"We have a stewardship of the network and want to be the best we can be. We want to leave a positive legacy for the future. The achievement of this standard is exactly what we want Cappagh to stand for."
The accreditation, which lasts for two years, is a powerful statement of Cappagh's commitment to quality, innovation and continuous improvement across its trenchless and drainage operations.
