Drain Excavation & Re-Lay in Sonning Common

Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Sonning Common (RG4) properties

A lot of drainage in Sonning Common predates the people using it. Extensions, loft conversions and added bathrooms load runs beyond their original design, and that's when hidden faults finally show. We factor that into every drain excavation & re-lay job we take in RG4.

Most common drainage problems in Sonning Common

  • Shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties
  • Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in RG4
  • Scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs
  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
