Hythe is across the water but a normal run for us, and the drainage questions there are usually about surface water. Drain clearance, CCTV surveys, jetting, gullies and repairs in Hythe, with the camera down the run so you see what we found.
Hythe sits on low ground near the water, so surface water drainage matters as much as foul: outfalls that back up on a high tide, gullies that silt with grit off the shore road, and ground that is already saturated before the rain starts. In practice most of what we are called out to in Hythe is blocked drains, with everything else on the list available alongside it.
Outside drains, chambers and soil stacks cleared, inside or out.

Read moreAcross Hythe (SO45) it is mostly blocked drains, surface water and tidal outfall problems, gully clearance and jetting, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Hythe sits on low ground near the water, so surface water drainage matters as much as foul: outfalls that back up on a high tide, gullies that silt with grit off the shore road, and ground that is already saturated before the rain starts. 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. Hythe is about 3 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.
Yes. Hythe is across the water but a normal run for us, and the drainage questions there are usually about surface water. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around pier and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.
It does, and surface water is usually the bigger half of it. Hythe is low ground near the water, so outfalls can back up when the tide is high, ground is often saturated before the rain even starts, and gullies silt quickly with grit. A foul blockage there behaves like a foul blockage anywhere, but a surface water problem needs the whole run checked from gully to outfall rather than one grate lifted, because the fault is frequently at the far end.
Yes, and in Hythe 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.
Hythe is around 3 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.
Call and we will tell you what it is likely to be before we set off.
Send a few details and we will come back with a price. If it is an emergency, ring instead and we will get to you quicker.
