Drainage in Eastleigh

Eastleigh is mostly interwar and postwar semis and estate housing with fair-sized gardens, so the runs are long, the chambers are usually accessible and the recurring trouble is fat and silt narrowing the bore rather than anything structural. In practice most of what we are called out to in Eastleigh is blocked drains and toilets, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Eastleigh

What drainage work do you do in Eastleigh?

Across Eastleigh (SO50) it is mostly blocked drains and toilets, jetting, driveway channel drains and surveys, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Eastleigh is mostly interwar and postwar semis and estate housing with fair-sized gardens, so the runs are long, the chambers are usually accessible and the recurring trouble is fat and silt narrowing the bore rather than anything structural. 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 Eastleigh?

No. Eastleigh is about 5 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 Eastleigh before?

Yes. Eastleigh is ten minutes up the road and a steady source of both domestic and commercial work. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around Leigh Road and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

Does the type of property in Eastleigh change the job?

It does, in a fairly predictable way. Eastleigh is largely interwar and postwar semis and estate housing with long garden runs and accessible chambers, which is good news: the blockage can normally be located quickly and cleared from a chamber rather than through the property. The recurring issue is narrowing rather than blocking, fat and silt coating the bore over years, which is why a drain that has been slow for a while wants jetting rather than just rodding.

Can you do a CCTV drain survey in Eastleigh?

Yes, and in Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh?

Eastleigh is around 5 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.
