Drainage Cotteridge is almost entirely Edwardian and inter-war residential. The streets running off Pershore Road and Watford Road were built in tight terraced runs, which means drainage systems were designed as shared laterals serving three or four properties from a single connection to the public sewer. When one property in a terrace run has a blockage, the effect is often felt by the whole run. Clearing a single access point without jetting the entire shared lateral simply moves the problem downstream.

The most common causes in Cotteridge terraces are tree root ingress through ageing clay pipe joints, and grease build-up in shared lateral drains serving multiple properties. Blocked drain in Cotteridge terraces often recurs because clearing one access point does not flush the full shared run. High-pressure jetting of the complete lateral is needed.
This is a clear sign that the blockage is in the shared lateral drain between your properties and the public sewer, not in either individual private lateral. Since 2011, Severn Trent Water is responsible for shared sewers. A CCTV survey confirms the location before you call Severn Trent.
Drain unblocking Cotteridge starts from £100 for a straightforward blockage. Root cutting, CCTV surveys, and relining are quoted on inspection. All prices are fixed before work starts.
Yes. We use rotary root cutting to clear the ingress, then jet the full run. For long-term prevention, we can line the pipe with a WRc-approved no-dig liner that blocks future root entry without any excavation.
Yes. CCTV drain surveys start from £250 and produce a full HD report showing the pipe condition, root ingress points, and ownership boundaries. This is particularly useful in terrace streets where shared drainage responsibilities can be unclear.
