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

Rafborough sits in the GU14 postcode, roughly three miles from central Farnborough, and you can be on site within ten minutes most mornings. The housing here is a mix of post-war semis and 1970s estates, with some infill development adding newer properties into the streets. That mixture of eras means drainage systems rarely match up neatly, and we regularly deal with blockages, collapsed runs and slow-draining gullies across both domestic and light commercial jobs.

Coming in off the main Farnborough Road corridor, you notice the streets are well established with mature trees lining several roads, and those root systems are a persistent problem for older clay pipe joints underneath. A lot of the pipework dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, jointed with mortar rather than rubber seals, which means root ingress and joint displacement are the calls we get most often. Shared sewer arrangements between pairs of semis also cause confusion when one household's blockage backs up into a neighbour's inspection chamber.

Most common Rafborough jobs

• Clearing root-blocked clay drains on older semi-detached properties
• CCTV surveys to locate collapsed pipe sections before a landlord re-lets
• Shared sewer disputes between neighbouring households, tracing which run belongs to which property
• Unblocking kitchen drain lines clogged with grease build-up in 1970s terraces
• Gully clearance on driveways where leaf debris from mature street trees accumulates over winter
