Your Local Olton Drainage Specialists

Olton boasts some of the finest Victorian and Edwardian architecture in the borough. While these large villas are beautiful, their drainage systems are often entirely original. The Victorian salt-glazed clay pipes were laid over 120 years ago, and ground movement in the heavy clay soil has inevitably caused joints to slip. When tackling blocked drains in Olton, we frequently find that displaced joints have allowed surrounding soil and tree roots to wash into the pipework.

Drainage Questions From Olton Residents

Answers from our local engineers who work across Olton every day.

Can you survey very old drains in Olton?

Yes. We use advanced CCTV drain cameras designed to pass through older, fragile Victorian clay pipes safely to identify faults without excavation.

Who is responsible if my shared drain in Olton blocks?

Shared drains are typically the responsibility of Severn Trent Water, but private drains on your land are your responsibility. We can survey the system to confirm exactly where the blockage is.

How quickly can you reach Olton?

We can reach most Olton addresses within 20 to 30 minutes from our Solihull office. B92 properties closer to the Warwick Road are typically the fastest to reach.

Do you offer CCTV drain surveys in Olton?

Yes. CCTV drain surveys start from £250 and include a written HD report showing the condition of every section of pipe. We recommend a survey for any recurring blockage, slow-running drain, or pre-purchase inspection in B92.

What causes recurring drain blockages in Olton?

In the older parts of Olton, recurring blockages are usually caused by root ingress through failed clay pipe joints or scale build-up on roughened pipe walls. A CCTV survey identifies the underlying cause, and relining or targeted repair prevents the blockage from returning.

Can you fix a drain in Olton without digging up the drive?

In most cases, yes. We use no-dig patch lining and full-length relining to repair cracked, displaced, or root-damaged pipes from the inside. Excavation is only necessary where a pipe has completely collapsed.

How much does drain unblocking cost in Olton?

Drain unblocking in Olton starts from £100. We agree a fixed price on site before any work begins, with no call-out fee.
