Lychpit sits just north-east of Basingstoke town centre, roughly 3 miles out in the RG21 postcode. It's predominantly a 1980s and 1990s residential development, the kind of area where you'll find a mix of detached houses, semis and small cul-de-sacs built when Basingstoke was expanding fast. The drainage jobs we pick up here tend to be blocked drains from root ingress, slow-draining kitchen gullies and the occasional shared sewer dispute between neighbours.
We usually come in off the A30 London Road, cutting through the newer residential streets that fan out from the main arterial routes. The estate roads have that late-20th-century feel, relatively uniform housing plots with fairly shallow drainage runs, though the mature trees that have grown up since the estates were built are now a real issue. Tree roots getting into the pipe joints are probably the most distinctive drainage problem in Lychpit, and the PVC-u pipework from that era can be surprisingly brittle once roots have been working at the joints for 20-odd years.

Lychpit FAQ
On estates built from the 1980s onwards, shared laterals were often adopted by Thames Water under the 2011 sewerage transfer, which means anything from the shared section downstream is their responsibility. We can CCTV the run, locate exactly where the blockage or damage is, and tell you clearly whether it falls on your private section or the adopted sewer, so you know whether to call us or Thames Water.
