Georgian and Victorian town-centre property
The High Street and surrounding older streets have original clay drainage, shared runs and chambers buried under later paving and extensions. Surveying first prevents digging in the wrong place.

Fareham drainage, covered as part of our eastern patch
Fareham sits at the eastern end of the area we cover, reached along the M27 from our Romsey base. The town centre, Wallington, Portchester side, Titchfield, Stubbington edge, Funtley and the Segensworth estates are all places we work.
The phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because Fareham is further out than Southampton or Eastleigh, we are especially careful to give you a realistic arrival time rather than an optimistic one, ring and we will tell you honestly where we are.
The ground here matters. Much of the Fareham area sits on heavy clay with a coastal water table, so water does not soak away readily. Combine that with a town centre whose drainage dates back generations and estates built on former farmland, and you get frequent surface-water problems alongside the usual blockages.

Fareham property types and their drainage
A long-established market town with a wide spread of building ages, plus substantial modern commercial development to the west.
Post-war and 1960s to 1980s estates
Wallington, Funtley and the estates around the town have clay and early plastic pipework at the age where joints open, roots enter and silt settles. Slow drainage here is usually a defect, not overuse.
Coastal and creekside property
Around the creek, Portchester side and towards Titchfield Haven the water table is high and surface-water systems have very little fall. Standing water and slow gullies are the common complaint.
Commercial and business parks
Segensworth, Fareham Reach and the industrial areas bring interceptors, forecourt channel drains, large gully networks and catering waste. We can work outside trading and operating hours.
Drainage problems that recur across Fareham
Heavy clay soil, a coastal water table and a mix of very old and very new drainage produce a distinctive set of recurring faults.
Surface water sitting on clay ground
Clay does not drain. When a gully silts or a soakaway fails, water has nowhere to go and ponds on drives, gardens and car parks. Clearing gullies before winter is the single most effective preventative job here.
Slow runs with minimal fall near the creek
Low-lying creekside property has surface-water pipework laid almost level. Even a small deposit of silt reduces capacity noticeably, so runs need jetting rather than rodding to restore them properly.
Root ingress in older estates
Mature street trees and established gardens send roots through open clay joints, where they form a mat that catches everything passing. Cutting and jetting clears it; relining the joint stops it returning.
Fat, oil and grease in commercial kitchens
Town-centre catering, pubs and business-park canteens. Grease hardens onto the pipe wall and narrows the bore until service stops. WJA-qualified jetting scours it back to clean pipe.
Collapsed pipework under drives and hard standing
Vehicles on converted front gardens and building work over shallow runs crack and displace old pipework. A survey locates the fault to the metre, so a liner or a small targeted dig replaces a large one.
How a Fareham job runs, start to finish
- 01
You ring, we listen
Tell us what is happening and where you are in Fareham. We will give you an honest answer about when we can be with you.
- 02
Camera down first
A CCTV camera goes down the run so the cause is found rather than guessed at. You are told what is there before anything is cleared, cut or dug.
- 03
You see it, then decide
We explain what the footage shows and what the options are, in plain English, before any work is priced or agreed.
- 04
Cleared properly
Jetting, rodding, vacuuming or root cutting as the job requires, WJA-qualified jetting where the run needs scouring back to a clean pipe wall.
- 05
Repaired with least disruption
Where the pipe is damaged, we reline or patch from inside wherever it will take it. Excavation is a last resort, not a first move.
- 06
Checked and left clean
The drain is run and checked before we close the job off, the waste goes with us, and you are told what caused it so it is less likely to return.
Drainage in Fareham: your questions answered
Do you cover Fareham?
Yes. Fareham is part of our regular service area, including the town centre, Wallington, Funtley, Titchfield, the Portchester and Stubbington borders and the Segensworth business parks.
How quickly can you reach Fareham?
Fareham is at the eastern end of our patch, reached along the M27 from Romsey. Ring and we will give you a genuine arrival time based on where the van is; we would rather be honest than optimistic.
What does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Fareham?
It depends on the cause, the access and the time on site, so we do not publish a flat rate. Describe the problem on the phone and we will explain how we would tackle it before anything is agreed.
Are you available for emergency drainage in Fareham at night?
Yes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If it is backing up now, ring now.
My garden and drive flood whenever it rains. Is that fixable?
Usually. On Fareham's clay ground the cause is normally a silted gully, a blocked surface-water run or a soakaway that has stopped working. We vacuum the gully out, jet the run and use a camera to check there is nothing worse further along.
Do you work on the Segensworth and Fareham Reach business parks?
Yes: interceptors, channel drains, car park gullies and kitchen waste runs. We can attend outside operating hours so the site keeps running.
Can old drainage under the High Street area be repaired without digging?
Often. Where the pipe is cracked or has an open joint but is still structurally sound, patch lining or full relining works from inside the run, which matters a great deal in a tight town-centre setting.
Do you do CCTV surveys for house purchases in Fareham?
Yes. On older town property, and on anything near the creek where infiltration and silting are likely, a pre-purchase survey is a sensible precaution.
Do you handle blocked toilets and internal blockages?
Yes: soil stacks, kitchen waste runs, toilets and sinks in both homes and commercial premises, cleared cleanly and checked before we leave.
Why does my drain keep blocking every few months?
It nearly always means a defect in the pipe is catching debris: roots, a dropped joint, a crack, or heavy scale. Clearing it helps today. A survey tells you why it keeps happening.
