What we do here

Drainage in West End

West End 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. In practice most of what we are called out to in West End is blocked drains and toilets, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in West End

What drainage work do you do in West End?

Across West End (SO18) it is mostly blocked drains and toilets, CCTV surveys, gully and channel drain clearance, along with the emergency callouts that go with all of it. West End 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.

Do you charge extra to come out to West End?

No. West End 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 West End before?

Yes. West End is minutes from the eastern side of the city and a regular call, particularly for surface water problems. Ring and we will tell you what we normally find in the drainage around High Street and what your job is likely to involve before anyone gets in the van.

Does the type of property in West End change the job?

It does, in a fairly predictable way. West End 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.

Can you do a CCTV drain survey in West End?

Yes, and in West End 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 West End?

West End 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.
