Village properties can have drainage routes that pre-date current boundaries, garages, and extensions. A pipe may cross a courtyard or run behind several cottages before reaching the road. We do not assume the shortest route. Camera distance, chamber flow tests, and locating equipment help establish where the line actually goes, which is essential before a repair or building project.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Allesley includes a historic village core, larger established plots, inter-war streets, and newer homes towards the city. That mix brings old clay drainage, modern alterations, and long private runs within the same postcode. We work throughout CV5 and link directly with Earlsdon drain unblocking, drainage support in Tile Hill, and the wider Coventry drainage area.
In the village and on larger plots, the drain may follow a former yard or boundary that no longer makes sense from above. We use water tests to establish which chamber receives each fixture, then track the camera distance and direction. Locating a junction is particularly useful where a cottage, garage, or converted building has been added in stages. It can reveal that two buildings share a downstream run or that an apparently private pipe crosses land outside the present garden.
Repair planning comes after the route and fault are understood. If roots enter at one clay socket beneath a lawn, a local patch may solve the problem without excavation. If several joints are displaced, we discuss whether a longer liner can be installed without reducing the bore. Where a section has collapsed or lost its fall, a small excavation is the honest option. For rural-edge gullies, we also check whether silt is arriving from the surface. Removing underground roots will not stop a trap filling with grit washed from an unsealed drive.
Allesley sits on Mixed loam and clay over sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone geology, managed by Severn Trent Water. The area's dominant property types, Historic village cottages, inter-war semis, detached suburban homes, each present different drainage challenges.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Allesley every day.
Yes. We use the accessible chambers, flow tests, camera distance, and electronic locating where suitable. Some older village routes are indirect, so tracing comes before excavation. We can mark the route and depth around a defect or proposed extension.
Not automatically. Cost depends on access, blockage type, and the equipment needed. A long run with good chambers may be straightforward, while a short inaccessible line can take longer. We inspect first and agree the price before work begins.
Drive run-off, soil, leaves, and degraded mortar can settle in a gully trap. If the material returns quickly after cleaning, the branch may have poor fall or the downstream drain may be restricted. We clear the trap and test the connected line.
Work takes place inside the drain and targets roots that have already entered the pipe. We do not excavate or cut structural roots outside the line without discussing the implications. Sealing the damaged joint reduces the need for repeated internal cutting.
Yes, especially where records are unclear. A survey can trace accessible drainage, identify defects, and show whether the proposed footprint crosses a sewer. It is easier to adjust a design before building than to create an inaccessible chamber beneath a new room.
We establish which properties connect and where the flow stops. Shared ownership and water-company responsibility can be complicated on older layouts. The survey evidence helps you contact the right party instead of arranging a private repair on infrastructure you do not own.
Standard work starts from £100 with no call-out fee. A fixed price is agreed before clearance. If CCTV reveals roots or damage requiring separate work, we explain the options and provide a distinct quote.
