Questions

Working in Ampfield

What drainage work do you do in Ampfield?

Across Ampfield (SO51) it is mostly blocked drains, private drainage and soakaways, root ingress and CCTV surveys, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Ampfield is village housing with a good deal of land around it, which means long private runs, soakaways doing the surface water rather than a mains connection, and blockages that have often been building quietly for a couple of years before anybody notices. Every job starts with the covers coming up and a look at which chambers are holding water, rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to come out to Ampfield?

No. Ampfield is about 6 miles from the Southampton base, well inside the daily patch, so travel is in the price and an emergency callout there is a normal run rather than a special trip.

Have you worked in Ampfield before?

Yes. Ampfield is a couple of minutes off the Romsey road and mostly larger properties with long private runs. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around church and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

Does the type of property in Ampfield change the job?

It does, and it changes what a blockage means. A lot of Ampfield property has long private runs, and some of it drains to a soakaway or a private system rather than to a mains sewer. Nobody else is going to maintain any of that, so problems build until something surfaces. It also means a survey is worth more here than in town, because knowing where your run actually goes is half the battle when something goes wrong on a wet weekend.

Can you do a CCTV drain survey in Ampfield?

Yes, and in Ampfield it is often the thing worth doing first. The camera runs chamber to chamber with the depth and distance on screen, and you get the recording along with a plain account of what was found and where. That matters when somebody else has to act on it: an insurer, a buyer's solicitor, a landlord or the water company all want evidence rather than a description.

How quickly can you get to an emergency in Ampfield?

Ampfield is around 6 miles from the Southampton base, so an emergency callout there is usually well inside a couple of hours and frequently a good deal quicker. The line is answered at night, at weekends and on bank holidays, and you get a realistic time on the phone rather than an optimistic one.
