How drainage repair is considered

The affected drain, access and responsibility need to be understood before excavation or repair is planned.

  1. 01

    The drainage problem

    The location of the issue and whether other properties are affected help establish the next step.

  2. 02

    The pipe and access

    The position of pipework, chambers and surrounding surfaces affects how repairs could be carried out.

  3. 03

    Repair and reinstatement

    Any excavation and the surface to be put back are considered alongside the drainage work.

Drainage repair costs

The cause, depth and position of the problem, access for excavation and the surface above it all affect the quotation. Responsibility for the pipe needs establishing before private work is arranged.

  • Drainage materials are included in the quoted work.
  • Investigation, excavation and surface reinstatement are identified for the individual repair.
  • Each job is quoted after assessing the property and the work required.
  • Materials are included in the quote.

Drainage and sewage questions

The affected pipe and its ownership determine who should deal with a drainage problem.

Do you offer drainage and sewage work?+

Yes. Drainage and sewage are listed among our building services. The method and extent of work need to be established for the specific problem at the property.

Francis

Should I call a builder or the water company?+

Anglian Water provides guidance on which drains and sewers it is responsible for. A pipe being in your garden does not on its own establish ownership; check responsibility before arranging private repairs.

Francis

Can drainage be considered with a new driveway?+

Yes. We advertise both services, so the drainage and driveway work can be considered together. The proposed work needs to identify the pipework, levels and finish involved.

Do you automatically include CCTV or drain jetting?+

No particular investigation or clearance method is included automatically. The drainage problem is considered first and the work needed is then identified.

Do you cover Louth and Brigg?+

Both are within our advertised service area, along with Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham. A drainage enquiry is considered for the individual property and the pipe involved.
