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

Ash Vale sits in GU12, about two miles from central Farnborough, and it's a mixed patch of post-war semis, 1960s and 1970s estates and some older Victorian and Edwardian terraces closer to the railway line. A fair number of the calls we get here are from homeowners who've lived in the same house for decades and are only now hitting problems that have been building quietly for years. Blocked drains, slow gullies and root ingress into ageing clay pipework are the bread and butter of what we do in Ash Vale.

We come in on the A331 or cut through via Ash Vale Road depending on the job. The ground here is notably sandy in places, which sounds harmless but means pipe joints can shift as the soil moves, especially on the older clay runs. Properties near the Basingstoke Canal corridor can sit on low-lying ground that holds water after heavy rain, and the mature trees along residential streets are persistent offenders for sending roots into cracked joints. Shared sewer arrangements between pairs of semis are common and often the source of confusion when neighbours both start having problems at the same time.

Most common Ash Vale jobs

• Clearing blocked drains on 1960s semis where original clay pipes have cracked at the joints
• CCTV surveys on properties near the canal that flood repeatedly after heavy rainfall
• Root cutting and patch lining where garden trees have worked into older pipework
• Shared sewer disputes between neighbouring properties, identifying exactly where responsibility lies
• Outdoor gulley clearance that's been neglected and is backing up onto driveways
• Tracing the cause of slow drainage inside the house back to a partial blockage further down the run
