Blocked drain in Herne Bay? DrainFixer covers CT6 around the clock with fully equipped jetting and CCTV vans. We're a small, family-run team based 52 miles away in East Grinstead — so you get a real local engineer, not a call centre.
Much of the Weald sits on heavy clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer. That movement is the single biggest cause of cracked and displaced joints in older clay drain runs here.
Property in Herne Bay 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.
Our engineers cover the whole of Herne Bay and the surrounding Canterbury area — residential, commercial and agricultural drainage alike.
Typical arrival: 60–90 minutes to Herne Bay once you call. Herne Bay is roughly 52 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 CT6 and the surrounding Canterbury area, including outlying hamlets and rural properties on private drainage systems.
The most common causes we see locally are collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework, deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing, wet wipes and sanitary items blocking the main lateral. 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 Kent.
Yes — pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys in Herne Bay 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 Kent, 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.
