Drainage problems in Gatwick rarely arrive at a convenient hour. DrainFixer answers the phone day and night and gets a fully stocked van to RH6 fast — jetting, surveys, repairs and drain cleaning.
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.
Older homes in Gatwick were plumbed with salt-glazed clay in short sections with mortar joints — the classic entry point for roots. Newer estates use continuous UPVC, which blocks less from roots and more from wipes, fat and misuse.
We work across every RH6 street in and around Gatwick, including outlying lanes and farm properties the bigger national firms are slow to reach.
Typical arrival: 20–35 minutes to Gatwick once you call. Gatwick is roughly 8 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 RH6 and the surrounding Mole Valley area, including outlying hamlets and rural properties on private drainage systems.
The most common causes we see locally are silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in RH6, scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs, fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes. 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 Surrey.
Yes — pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys in Gatwick 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 Surrey, 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.
