ProductsCCTVMicrotrench Cabling

Microtrench cabling for estates and compounds

Getting cable across a driveway or through a compound used to mean an open trench, traffic cones and a week of complaints. Microtrenching cuts a narrow slot, lays the cable and reinstates the surface — usually in a day.

A microtrench is a saw cut a few centimetres wide and typically 10 to 30 centimetres deep. Fibre or armoured cable is laid in the cut and the surface is sealed. Because the cut is narrow and shallow, it avoids most existing services and disrupts traffic for hours rather than days.

We use it for CCTV runs to perimeter and car park cameras, fibre links between blocks and any outdoor cable route where digging would be disruptive.

Frequently asked questions

Does it damage the road surface?

The cut is narrow and sealed on the same day. It is far less disruptive than a conventional trench.

Can it be used for fibre and power?

We use it for fibre and low-voltage cabling. Power cabling has separate requirements we would discuss on site.
