Questions

Working in Locks Heath

What drainage work do you do in Locks Heath?

Across Locks Heath (SO31) it is mostly blocked drains on estate housing, driveway channel drains, jetting and surveys, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Locks Heath is modern estate housing on plastic pipework, generally well laid, so the blockages there are almost entirely about what has gone down the pipe rather than about the pipe itself, and the useful question is which properties share the run. 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 Locks Heath?

No. Locks Heath 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 Locks Heath before?

Yes. Locks Heath is mostly modern estate housing, where a blockage is usually about what has gone down rather than the pipe. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around shopping centre and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

Does the type of property in Locks Heath change the job?

It does, and mostly in your favour. Locks Heath is modern housing on plastic pipework, generally laid to a proper fall with chambers in sensible places, so structural faults are rare. What comes up instead is use: wipes, fat and building debris from an alteration. The other thing worth knowing on newer estates is which properties share your run, because a blockage on a shared section is not a single household's responsibility and the drain layout will tell you.

Can you do a CCTV drain survey in Locks Heath?

Yes, and in Locks Heath 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 Locks Heath?

Locks Heath 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.
