Drainage & drain clearance
Blocked drains, CCTV surveys and high-pressure jetting — experienced drainage engineers.
Same day service
in Newhaven
Book today or tomorrow for drain unblocking, jetting and drainage repairs.
Shared drains, manholes and tight access down alleys are common in older Newhaven streets. We’re used to working safely around covers, traffic and neighbours’ boundaries — and we clean up properly after a clearance.
Recent blocked drain & jetting work in Newhaven
Example 1
Our team attended Drainage Services in Newhaven for a pre-purchase survey — the buyer wanted eyes in the ground before exchange.
The survey recorded offsets and material changes for the buyer — no drama, but evidence they could negotiate with — plus a clean bill on the section under the house.
Result: The smell stopped; neighbours were happy the pavement wasn’t dug up unnecessarily.
Example 2
A café in Newhaven needed Drainage Services when the yard gully smelled constantly, even after a quick rod from elsewhere.
Tracing manholes upstream proved the blockage sat in the shared run; we coordinated access, cleared, and left a short clip for the landlord cluster.
Result: The smell stopped; neighbours were happy the pavement wasn’t dug up unnecessarily.
Example 3
We recently tackled Drainage Services in Newhaven where roots had cracked a clay lateral — slow drains after heavy rain were the giveaway.
Tracing manholes upstream proved the blockage sat in the shared run; we coordinated access, cleared, and left a short clip for the landlord cluster.
Result: The smell stopped; neighbours were happy the pavement wasn’t dug up unnecessarily.
Pre-purchase surveys and insurance claims need footage and notes, not a verbal “looks fine”. Across Newhaven and surrounding neighbourhoods, we deliver readable reports alongside the MP4.
What you can expect
CCTV drain surveys from us include watchable footage and notes you can forward — useful for purchases and insurance. Drain work in Newhaven should be transparent, not a black hole in the invoice.
Main drains & manholes in Newhaven
Blocked drain callouts in Newhaven are routine for us. We clear properly, then camera the line if repeats suggest a dip, roots or a defect. Same-day and next-day slots are available for emergencies — sinks, WCs, yard gullies and main drains.
Where the cause isn't obvious, we'll run a CCTV survey to pinpoint the problem, then clear it properly. You get a fix that lasts, not a quick clear that fails again. We offer fixed-price quotes where possible and no nasty surprises.
Common questions in Newhaven
- Do you cover all of Newhaven, not just the centre?
- Yes — we work across Newhaven and inner suburbs for blocked drains, slow drains and drain unblocking, with the same standards. Your job is matched to a local engineer where possible.
- Can you attend same day for a blocked drain?
- We aim for same-day attendance for urgent backups and loss of use of facilities when capacity allows — call us and we’ll give an honest arrival window.
- Do you use CCTV on drains in Newhaven?
- Yes — we camera lines when the cause isn’t obvious or a blockage keeps coming back, so you get a lasting fix rather than repeat clearing.
- What’s the difference between a slow drain and a full blockage?
- A slow drain usually means a partial restriction; a full blockage often backs up into the lowest fixture. We test first and choose rods, jetting or mechanical clearing to match the pipe — not a one-size-fits-all rod job.
Typical work we see in Newhaven
- Older clay and shared runs in Newhaven — we jet and rod properly, and use CCTV when repeat blockages suggest more than surface waste.
- Kitchen fatbergs and bathroom wipes — high-pressure jetting with the right nozzles, plus honest advice if the pipe needs repair or lining.
- Yard gullies and rainwater — we prove foul vs surface water before we price major work.
Blocked drain callouts
Fully blocked or slow draining? We clear kitchen lines, WCs and main runs with the right method — jetting, rods or mechanical — and we camera when it keeps coming back.
Drain unblocking
Slow bathroom wastes, gurgling stacks or a utility sink that won’t run off — we unblock properly and explain what caused it so you’re not stuck in a repeat cycle.
CCTV drain surveys
Buying, insuring or tired of repeat blockages? We camera the line and leave footage plus plain notes you can share — so you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
High-pressure drain jetting
Fatbergs, scale and soft root ingress often need proper jetting with the right nozzles — we match pressure to the pipe and clean up after, without wrecking fragile old clay.
