Tidbury Green has changed dramatically over the last decade. The older properties along Fulford Hall Road and Tilehouse Lane often have ageing clay drainage systems, and due to the semi-rural nature of the area, some still rely on soakaways for surface water. The high water table and heavy local soils mean that these older soakaways frequently fail during wet winters. When dealing with blocked drains in Tidbury Green on these older plots, ground conditions are a major factor.
Conversely, the large new-build developments like Regency Fields use entirely modern PVC systems. While the pipes themselves are structurally sound, we regularly get called out to deal with construction debris that was washed into the drains during the build phase, or poor initial groundworks where pipes were not laid with the correct fall. Our Tidbury Green drain unblocking service includes high-pressure jetting to flush out builder’s rubble and silt from newly laid systems.
We understand how to manage both the old and the new. Operating locally, we provide fixed-price, transparent drainage solutions for homes throughout the West Midlands and Warwickshire. For nearby coverage, see our pages on drain unblocking in Dickens Heath and blocked drain services in Cheswick Green.
The golf course and farmland that border Tidbury Green to the south and west mean that many properties have long private drainage runs crossing open ground before connecting to the public sewer. These extended runs are the homeowner's responsibility to maintain, and they accumulate silt, root ingress, and scale over years without anyone realising until a full blockage develops. During heavy storms, surface water from surrounding agricultural land can also overwhelm domestic drainage systems, particularly where field run-off enters garden gullies or soakaways that were not designed for that volume. We assess the full drainage layout by CCTV and can distinguish between a private pipe blockage and a surface water overload before recommending any work. For properties on the Wythall side, our drainage engineers cover the adjacent area.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Tidbury Green every day.
Can you clear builder’s rubble from my new-build drain?
Yes. We use high-pressure water jetting to break up and flush out cement, silt, and rubble that is often left behind in new-build drainage systems.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Tidbury Green?
No. We offer a transparent, fixed-price service with zero call-out fees.
How quickly can you reach Tidbury Green?
We can reach most Tidbury Green addresses within about 20 minutes from our Solihull office. Properties on Fulford Hall Road and Tilehouse Lane are typically the fastest to reach.
Do you cover rural properties on the edges of Tidbury Green?
Yes. We cover the full B90 postcode, including semi-rural properties with long private drainage runs, septic tanks, and soakaways on the outskirts of the village.
Can you repair a failed soakaway in Tidbury Green?
Yes. Soakaways in Tidbury Green frequently fail due to the heavy clay soil and high water table. We can clear, assess, and in many cases restore an existing soakaway by jetting out accumulated clay and debris. Where a soakaway has failed beyond recovery, we advise on replacement options.
What is pitch-fibre pipe and does Tidbury Green have it?
Pitch-fibre is a pipe material made from wood pulp and coal tar, used widely in the 1950s and 1960s. Some of the older properties in Tidbury Green have pitch-fibre sections. It blisters and collapses over time, causing recurring blockages. We can re-round and reline affected sections.
Who maintains the private drain on my property?
The private drain from your property to the boundary is your responsibility. The shared lateral drain beyond your boundary is typically maintained by Severn Trent Water. We survey the system to establish exactly where a blockage or fault sits.
