What we do here

Drainage in Netley

Netley 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 Netley is blocked drains and toilets, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Netley

What drainage work do you do in Netley?

Across Netley (SO31) it is mostly blocked drains and toilets, older Victorian runs, gully clearance and CCTV surveys, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. Netley 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 Netley?

No. Netley 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 Netley before?

Yes. Netley has a lot of Victorian housing near the shore, so old pipework and modern use meet there fairly often. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around Abbey and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

Does the type of property in Netley change the job?

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

Yes, and in Netley 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 Netley?

Netley 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.
