Blocked drain in Balls Cross? DrainFixer covers GU28 around the clock with fully equipped jetting and CCTV vans. We're a small, family-run team based 26 miles away in East Grinstead — so you get a real local engineer, not a call centre.
Clay-with-flints subsoil holds water on the surface long after rain has stopped, which pushes surface water into foul drains that were never designed to take it.
Property in Balls Cross 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 work across every GU28 street in and around Balls Cross, including outlying lanes and farm properties the bigger national firms are slow to reach.
Typical arrival: 45–70 minutes to Balls Cross once you call. Balls Cross is roughly 26 miles from our East Grinstead base, and we run 24/7 — nights, weekends and bank holidays included. Call 0330 1331 347 and we'll tell you honestly when an engineer will be with you.
Yes. We cover every street in GU28 and the surrounding Chichester area, including outlying hamlets and rural properties on private drainage systems.
The most common causes we see locally are root ingress at clay pipe joints on tree-lined streets around Balls Cross, shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties, surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains. A CCTV survey tells us which one it is in minutes rather than guessing.
We do. Our phone lines are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and we treat sewage inside a property or flooding risk as a priority call-out anywhere in West Sussex.
Yes — pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys in Balls Cross are one of our most requested jobs. You get a recorded survey, a written report and a clear list of any defects with repair options.
In West Sussex, pipework inside your property boundary that only serves your home is usually yours. Shared runs and anything beyond the boundary are typically the water authority's. We'll tell you which is which before any work starts — and never charge you for a job that isn't yours.
