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

Fox Lane sits in the GU14 postcode, about three miles from central Farnborough, and the housing here is a fairly typical mix of post-war semis and detached houses built from the 1950s through to the 1980s, with some later infill development along the quieter side roads. A lot of owner-occupiers have been here a long time, which means the drains haven't always had much attention. We cover this area regularly and the calls we get are usually blocked drains, slow-draining gullies, and older pipework that's starting to show its age.

Coming out from Farnborough we usually approach Fox Lane along the Hawley Road corridor, which gives a decent run without much delay. The properties here sit on ground that can hold water after heavy rain, and the drainage systems under many of these gardens date back to the original builds, meaning clay pipe runs with push-fit joints that tree roots love to exploit. There are plenty of established gardens with mature oaks and conifers close to the drain lines, and that's where a good chunk of our CCTV surveys end up finding the problem.

Most common Fox Lane jobs

• Clearing root ingress from clay drain runs under rear gardens
• CCTV surveys on older semi-detached properties before purchase or renovation
• Blocked outside gullies after storm water backs up onto patios
• Tracing shared sewer boundaries where two neighbours both have slow drains
• Soakaway inspections on 1960s and 1970s builds where the original drainage wasn't connected to the main sewer
