Drain Excavation & Re-Lay in Skippers Hill

Skippers Hill property owners call us for drain excavation & re-lay because we turn up when we say we will. Typical arrival: 30–50 minutes to TN20, day or night, weekends and bank holidays included.

Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Skippers Hill (TN20) properties

Skippers Hill 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 TN20.

Most common drainage problems in Skippers Hill

  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
  • Manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use
  • Collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework

  • Wet wipes and sanitary items blocking the main lateral
