  • High-pressure jetting to clear fat, scale, silt and roots from the pipe walls.

  • Drain repairs, from a single joint to replacing a section of pipe, with a written guarantee on repairs.

Drains in Colchester

Colchester has some of the oldest housing in Essex, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, Lexden and New Town. Many of these homes still have their original clay drains. Colchester also has a high share of rented homes, so landlords and letting agents make up a lot of the work.

For landlords and agents we take photos and, where it helps, CCTV footage showing what caused a blockage, which supports a fair recharge to a tenant if it was misuse.

Is it your drain, or Anglian Water's?

In Colchester, the public sewers belong to Anglian Water. Since 2011, shared drains and sewers outside your property boundary have been the water company's to clear, free of charge. If your neighbours have the same problem, or the blockage is past your boundary, it's probably theirs: report it to Anglian Water on 03457 145 145. If we come out and find the problem is on the public side, we stop and tell you, and you only pay any diagnostic charge shown on your quote.
