The appointment was incredibly easy to arrange, they were able to fit me in far quicker than I anticipated and the service was professional and clearly explained to me. Would recommend.

Frequently asked questions
If you've got questions about drain excavations, take a look at our FAQs or get in touch with your local team.
If you’ve noticed that your drain has permanent blockages, then you may need a drain excavation.
A drainage engineer will start with a CCTV drain survey, allowing you to see the condition of the pipes and if excavation is the most effective long-term solution.
Excavation is carefully planned to minimise disruption. As a result, we only excavate the affected area and leave everything tidy before leaving.
While drain excavations can be completed in one to three days, the depth of the drain excavation, access requirements, and the extent of the damage can affect the duration.
