A Oldland Common drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Oldland Common is a quiet residential village sitting in BS30, about three miles east of central Kingswood. Housing is a real mix: you've got older semi-detached and detached properties from the 1930s and 1950s alongside 1970s and 1980s estates that filled out the edges of the village. We're out here regularly for blocked drains, slow-running waste pipes and collapsed sections of aging clay pipework. It's the kind of area where the drains have been quietly deteriorating for decades without anyone noticing until something backs up.

We come in on the A420 then cut down through the village roads depending on where the job is. The older parts of the village have clay pipes that are well past their best, and shared sewer runs between properties are common, which complicates things when there's a blockage. Mature garden trees are everywhere in the older streets and root ingress into pipe joints is probably the single most recurring problem we deal with here. The ground can sit wet after heavy rain, which tells you the drainage infrastructure isn't coping the way it should.

Most common Oldland Common jobs

• Clearing root ingress from clay drain runs between older semis
• CCTV surveys on shared sewer laterals where neighbours can't agree on who's responsible
• Blocked outside gullies on 1970s estates where leaf fall builds up fast
• Patching or lining cracked clay pipes to avoid a full excavation
• Slow kitchen or bathroom waste traced back to a collapsed joint under the garden
• Drain jetting after repeated DIY attempts have shifted a blockage only temporarily
