Need drain excavation & re-lay in Old Coulsdon? Our vans carry rods, mini-jetters, 4,000 PSI jetting units and CCTV cameras, so most CR5 jobs are diagnosed and solved on the first visit rather than turned into a return appointment.
Property in Old Coulsdon ranges from converted and extended older homes — where drainage has been re-routed more than once — to modern developments with private drainage that management companies often assume the water authority maintains. It doesn't. We factor that into every drain excavation & re-lay job we take in CR5.
It depends on the job — depth, access and what's actually causing the problem. We quote in writing on site before starting, so you approve the price first. Call 0330 1331 347 and we'll give you a realistic range over the phone.
Typical arrival: 30–50 minutes once you call. Old Coulsdon is around 13 miles from our East Grinstead base, and we run 24 hours a day, so emergencies in CR5 get priority.
Yes — every street in CR5, plus outlying hamlets and rural properties on private drainage across Croydon.
Most single-defect excavations complete within 1–2 days including reinstatement.
Yes — we lift slabs and blocks carefully and reinstate to match. On highways or complex finishes we bring in specialist reinstatement partners.
You speak to the people who turn up. No franchise, no handover.
Nights, weekends and bank holidays — the phone is answered by us.
