A Kempshott drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Kempshott sits on the western edge of Basingstoke in RG21, about three miles from the town centre. It's mostly 1980s and 1990s estate housing, a mix of detached and semi-detached properties built during Basingstoke's big expansion years. The drainage work we get called out for here tends to be blocked toilets and slow-draining baths in houses where the original plastic pipework is now ageing, plus the occasional shared sewer dispute between neighbours who aren't sure whose drain it actually is.

We come out to Kempshott on the A30 Kempshott Lane corridor, dropping into the estate roads off the roundabout system that characterises this part of town. The housing here was largely built by volume developers in a short window, so whole streets often share the same pipe runs laid at the same time, and when one property starts getting recurring blockages, neighbours usually follow within a few years. Shallow inspection chambers with plastic benching are common, and tree planting from the original landscaping has had thirty-plus years to push roots into gully connections.

Most common Kempshott jobs

• Clearing root ingress from gully pipes serving rear gardens where ornamental trees were planted close to the house
• CCTV surveys on shared drainage runs where two or three semi-detached pairs feed into a single lateral
• Unblocking ground-floor toilets backing up into shower trays, usually a fatty deposit build-up mid-run
• Relining cracked plastic pipework under driveways that have been resurfaced and loaded over the years
• Tracing which inspection chamber belongs to which property before a house sale or extension build
• Jet washing silted gullies on estate roads where leaf fall blocks the inlet grilles every autumn
