A family-run cork drilling business since 1929
About Harte Well Drilling
Harte Well Drilling is a family-run Cork drilling business with a history dating back to 1929. For generations, the Harte family has worked across Cork and the surrounding areas, helping homes, farms and businesses access reliable water supplies through skilled drilling, practical advice and local ground knowledge.
Today, Martin and Dean Harte continue that tradition, combining long-standing experience with modern drilling equipment and professional site practice. The business provides water well drilling, site assessment, water sourcing, geothermal drilling, pump coordination and site investigation services for domestic, agricultural and commercial customers.
Built on knowledge. Driven by Experience
Generations of Practical Experience
The Harte family’s work began when wells were dug by hand and a single project could take weeks or months to complete. The methods have changed, but the values remain the same: careful assessment, honest advice, reliable workmanship and a commitment to finding the right long-term solution for each customer.
That experience is especially valuable because every drilling project is different. Ground conditions, access, water demand, site layout and future plans all influence the best approach. Harte Well Drilling brings generations of local knowledge to each site, helping customers make informed decisions before work begins.
Serving Every Type of Project
Supporting Homes, Farms and Businesses
Harte Well Drilling works with homeowners, farmers, dairy units, builders, engineers and commercial property owners. Whether the requirement is a domestic well, a water supply for a working farm, geothermal boreholes for a heating system, or monitoring holes for a site investigation project, the same practical and professional approach is applied.
On farms and rural properties, proper planning is particularly important. Well location may need to take account of farmyard activity, livestock movement, septic tanks, oil tanks, future expansion and long-term water quality.
Grants and Practical Guidance
Where grants or support schemes are available, Harte Well Drilling can help customers understand the practical requirements involved in planning their well or water supply project. The website includes a dedicated grants page with current information to help customers see what support may be available and what steps may be required.
Traditional Knowledge, Modern Drilling
The business has evolved from traditional well digging and water sourcing into modern drilling services, while retaining the field knowledge and judgement developed over decades of work. This balance of heritage and modern capability is central to the Harte Well Drilling story.
Customers benefit from a business that understands the land, understands the importance of a reliable water supply, and has the equipment and experience to carry out drilling work safely and efficiently.
