What we do here

Drainage in Marchwood

Marchwood 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 Marchwood is blocked drains, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Marchwood

What drainage work do you do in Marchwood?

Across Marchwood (SO40) it is mostly blocked drains, surface water drainage, commercial and yard gullies, jetting, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Marchwood 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.

Do you charge extra to come out to Marchwood?

No. Marchwood 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.

Have you worked in Marchwood before?

Yes. Marchwood is straight down the waterside from Totton and mixes housing with industrial drainage. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around village centre and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

Does the type of property in Marchwood change the job?

It does, and surface water is usually the bigger half of it. Marchwood 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.

Can you do a CCTV drain survey in Marchwood?

Yes, and in Marchwood 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 Marchwood?

Marchwood 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.
