Coventry was bombed heavily during the Second World War, and much of the city centre was rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s. That rebuilding programme shaped the drainage infrastructure you see today. Large sections of the city sit on post-war concrete pipes and early plastic systems designed to last 50 to 60 years, and they are now well past that lifespan. Post-war concrete develops hairline cracks that let groundwater in, and over time those cracks widen until whole sections lose structural integrity. Our drainage engineers in Coventry carry specialist CCTV equipment on every job in these postcodes because the pipe conditions are rarely predictable. We deal with this across CV1 through CV6 on a regular basis.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Coventry every day.
We can typically reach most Coventry addresses within 60 minutes from our base. Locations on the western side of the city, including Tile Hill, Canley, and Allesley, are usually closer to 45 minutes. Central Coventry and eastern suburbs like Binley and Walsgrave may take a little longer during peak traffic.
In the older areas like Earlsdon and Cheylesmore, tree root ingress is the primary cause. The Victorian clay pipes have weakened joints that roots exploit easily. In the post-war estates across Tile Hill, Wyken, and Walsgrave, it tends to be pipe deterioration from age, particularly where pitch-fibre or concrete ring drains were used. Across all areas, fat and grease build-up is a common factor.
Properties built between 1950 and 1975 across Coventry are the ones we see the most problems with. Many were fitted with pitch-fibre pipes that blister and collapse inward after decades of use, or concrete ring drains where the rubber seals have perished. A CCTV survey is the best way to check the condition of your drainage without digging anything up. If the pipes are failing, we can usually reline or replace the affected section without excavating your garden.
Yes. We regularly work in Canley, Tile Hill, and the streets around the University of Warwick campus. Student rental properties in these areas often have drainage systems under more strain than they were designed for. We offer both emergency unblocking and scheduled maintenance jetting for landlords managing multiple properties.
If the blockage is in the private drainage that only serves your property, it is your responsibility to fix. If the blockage is in a shared drain, also called a lateral drain, that serves more than one property, it was transferred to Severn Trent Water in 2011 and is their responsibility. We can run a CCTV camera through the system to identify exactly where the blockage sits, so you know whether to call us or Severn Trent.
No. We never charge a call-out fee anywhere we work. You get a fixed price for the job, quoted on site before we start. The price we agree is the price you pay.
CCTV drain surveys in Coventry start from £250. You receive a full written report with HD footage showing the condition of your drainage system. We use surveys to diagnose recurring problems, check pipe condition before property purchases, and provide evidence for insurance claims.
