Flooded Drains & Manholes in The Platt

Flooded Drains & Manholes for The Platt (TN3) properties

The Platt 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 flooded drains & manholes job we take in TN3.
