Our Drainage Services

Derby's older suburbs — the Cathedral Quarter and the Victorian streets of Normanton and Chaddesden — still run on the original clay or cast-iron drainage, and cracked joints and root ingress in that pipework account for a lot of the repair callouts we get in the city, alongside newer plastic systems out in Allestree and Mickleover. It's a similar story down the Trent corridor: the lace-trade terraces of Long Eaton and the riverside streets of Burton upon Trent both sit close to the water table, so drains there back up more readily after heavy rain. We carry CCTV survey cameras, high-pressure jetting equipment, and drain rods on every van, which means most of the jobs below get diagnosed and cleared in a single visit rather than needing us back a second time. Where a pipe has actually failed, trenchless relining fixes it without digging up a driveway or garden. Every engineer is fully insured, quotes are fixed and agreed before we start, and there's no call-out fee whether you're in Derby itself or out toward Burton upon Trent, Long Eaton, Belper, Ilkeston, Ashbourne, Ripley, Heanor, or Duffield. The list below covers what we're called out for most, from routine unblocking to full emergency drain repairs.
