Typical response: 30 minutes from our Solihull office
We operate from our Solihull base at Blythe Valley Park, meaning we reach most B90 to B94 addresses within 30 minutes. That matters when sewage is backing up into a downstairs bathroom at 7am on a Monday. National companies dispatch from regional hubs miles away. We are already here. Homeowners in Solihull rely on that kind of prompt response, and it is something a remote call centre cannot offer.
Solihull sits on heavy clay with sand pockets, and that geology causes real problems for older pipework. The clay expands when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries out, and over decades that movement cracks pipe joints and opens up gaps. Tree roots find those gaps. In areas like Knowle, Dorridge, and Bentley Heath, where the gardens are mature and the private drainage runs are long, root ingress is the single most common reason we get called out. Our drainage engineers in Solihull carry specialist root-cutting equipment on every van.
The 1930s semis across Shirley and Olton have their own set of problems. Most still sit on original salt-glazed clay pipes, and many had pitch-fibre sections added in the 1960s that have since blistered and collapsed inward. Shared drainage runs between neighbouring properties are common in these streets, which means one blockage can affect two or three households at once. The drain unblocking work we do for residents in these areas of Solihull almost always involves clearing grease and root masses from shared lateral runs.
The newer estates in Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green, and Monkspath use modern PVC, so pipe failure is rare. But the high-density development and hard-standing surfaces create surface water drainage issues that the original infrastructure was not designed to handle. We also see snagging problems on recently built properties where drainage has not been properly connected or adopted by Severn Trent. When new-build owners in Solihull contact us for drain unblocking, it most often involves poor pipe falls and construction debris left inside the system during the build. If you are in one of the surrounding villages, our pages on drain unblocking in Knowle and blocked drain services in Shirley carry more detailed local information specific to those areas.

Tree root ingress is the biggest one, particularly in Knowle, Dorridge, and Shirley where the gardens are established and the roots are well developed. After that, it's fat and grease build-up in the older 1930s properties, and clay pipe joint displacement caused by seasonal ground movement in the heavy clay soil.
Yes. Unlike national franchise companies, we operate from a Solihull base at Blythe Valley Park. Our engineers work across the borough daily and know the local property types, common pipe materials, and typical problem areas inside out.
Yes. We regularly work on new-build drainage systems across the Solihull borough, including Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green, Monkspath, and Tidbury Green. Modern PVC systems bring different challenges to older clay pipes. Usually it's surface water management or connection issues rather than pipe failure.
Our CCTV drain surveys in Solihull start from £250. You'll receive a full written report with HD footage identifying any blockages, damage, or defects in the drainage system. We use this to diagnose problems accurately before recommending any repair work.
Yes. We regularly work on the longer private drainage runs common on executive properties in Knowle, Dorridge, and Bentley Heath. These properties often have complex drainage serving multiple bathrooms and outbuildings, and root ingress from mature trees is a frequent issue we deal with using high-pressure jetting and root-cutting equipment.
