Acocks Green has a distinctive housing character shaped by two distinct building eras. The large Edwardian semis along Warwick Road and the streets radiating from the village centre were built between 1900 and 1915 with salt-glazed clay drainage. The inter-war terraces and semis filling the streets between Warwick Road and Fox Hollies Park followed in the 1920s and 1930s. Both eras used clay pipe and lime mortar joints, and after a century or more in heavy Mercia Mudstone, those joints are the consistent weak point. Drainage in Acocks Green almost always comes down to joint condition, and CCTV is the only reliable way to assess it.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Acocks Green sits on the eastern side of Birmingham, bordering Solihull to the south. The B27 postcode is dominated by Edwardian and inter-war properties that still rely on their original clay drainage systems. Fox Hollies Park is one of the area's most recognisable landmarks, and the mature trees along its boundaries send root systems deep into the drainage runs on adjacent streets. We cover Acocks Green regularly and also serve the nearby areas of Hall Green and Olton.
Acocks Green sits on Heavy Mercia Mudstone clay geology, managed by Severn Trent Water. The area's dominant property types, Edwardian semis, Inter-war terraces, Converted flats, each present different drainage challenges.

We typically reach most B27 addresses within 30 to 40 minutes from our Birmingham base. Acocks Green is well within our core service area in east Birmingham.
No. There is no call-out fee. We agree a fixed price on site before any work starts. Drain unblocking in Acocks Green starts from £100.
Yes. The mature trees along the park boundary send root systems well beyond the park fence. Properties on Fox Hollies Road, Oakfield Road, and adjacent streets are particularly affected. We cut roots with high-pressure jetting and reline the pipe joints to prevent re-entry.
Yes. Many converted properties in B27 have original single-household drainage systems that now serve multiple units. The additional load from extra kitchens and bathrooms can cause frequent blockages, particularly if the pipe gradients were marginal to begin with. A CCTV survey identifies whether the drainage layout is coping or needs upgrading.
Drain unblocking starts from £100 with no call-out fee. We give a fixed price before starting work. More complex jobs involving root cutting or pitch-fibre removal are priced after we have assessed the pipe with our CCTV camera.
Yes. CCTV drain surveys start from £250 and include a full HD written report. For Edwardian properties in B27, a pre-purchase survey is particularly worthwhile because the clay pipes are over 100 years old and joint condition varies significantly from property to property.
Shared lateral drains serving more than one property were transferred to Severn Trent Water in 2011. Private drains within your property boundary are your responsibility. We can CCTV survey the system to confirm exactly where a blockage sits and who should be paying for the repair.
