Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Duddleswell (TN22) properties

Duddleswell has the usual English mix: period property on original clay pipework, post-war housing on pitch fibre or early plastic, and newer builds on UPVC that still connect into much older shared runs. Each fails in a different way, so we diagnose before we dig. We factor that into every drain excavation & re-lay job we take in TN22.
