Whitchurch sits in RG28, about 10 miles south-west of central Basingstoke along the B3400, and it's a proper small Hampshire market town rather than a suburb. Housing is a genuine mix: Georgian and Victorian terraces in the town centre, interwar semis spreading out towards the edges, and some newer cul-de-sac development on the outskirts. The drainage work we get called to here reflects that mix, blocked drains and slow-running waste pipes in older properties, and the odd collapsed run in the Victorian-era clay pipe network.
We come in on the B3400 through Overton, and the older core of Whitchurch is where most of the interesting drainage problems live. The town centre streets have clay pipework that's well over a century old in places, with shared sewer connections between terraced properties that can make tracing a blockage more involved than a straightforward single-house job. The River Test runs through the town and the ground near it sits low, so surface water drainage gets stressed quickly in wet weather. Tree root ingress into pipe joints is a recurring issue here more than almost anywhere else we cover.
Most common Whitchurch jobs
- Clearing root-blocked clay drains in Victorian terraced properties near the town centre
- CCTV surveys to locate collapsed joints in shared sewer runs between terraces
- Unblocking kitchen and bathroom waste pipes in interwar semis on the town's outskirts
- Surface water drainage backing up during heavy rain in low-lying streets close to the Test
- Tracing which property owns a shared lateral before repair work starts
- Drain relining on older clay runs where digging up a period-property frontage isn't practical

Whitchurch FAQ
It can do. Shared lateral drains that serve more than one property and sit outside the property boundary are usually Thames Water's responsibility since the 2011 sewer transfer, but the rules depend on exactly where the fault is. We'll CCTV the run, show you the footage, and tell you plainly whether it's a matter for the water authority or one you'll need to sort privately. We can deal with Thames Water on your behalf if needed.
