Blocked drains in Fareham

Across Fareham (PO16) it is mostly blocked drains and toilets, commercial drainage, jetting, gully clearance and surveys, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Fareham 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.

No. Fareham is roughly 11 miles out, which is still a regular call for us, so there is no travel charge on top. On non-urgent work out that far we will often suggest a booked slot rather than a same-hour visit, simply because it means a firm time rather than a hopeful one.

Yes. Fareham sits at the eastern end of the patch and mixes town housing with a good deal of commercial work. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around West Street and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

It does, in a fairly predictable way. Fareham 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.

Yes, and in Fareham 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.

Fareham is around 11 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.
